Olof caught Pulmonary edema during a climb of mt. Cho Oyu in Tibet 2004 at 7900 m. and was carried down the mountain by yak herders. He later got stuck in the Typhoon Sonca during a solo sail across the Pacific 2005. Together with Martin Letzter and two Sherpas, Olof conducted the search on Mt Everest for climber Tomas Olsson, who fell to his death in 2006. They found the body after four days at 6700m below the Hornbein Couloir and carried the body down to the base camp.
