However, after reaching the summit, Jo collapsed because of a pre-existing ailment, and some of his friends rode back down the mountain to seek help.&nbsp; 
Officials first sent a team of motorcyclists to evaluate his symptoms, before sending two teams of 15 rescuers to take turns in carrying him down the mountain. 
While he was being carried down, rescuers had to connect him to an oxygen tank to help his breathing. 
The rescue operation took about nine hours.
