Reports on Twitter suggest the 1st winter summit of K2 has been made. The Nepali Sherpas gathered 10m below the summit and made the top together. One of them climbed with no additional oxygen. The team we’re fixing ropes to the summit for the commercial expeditions that are making winter attempts on the mountain. K2 was the last 8000 metre summit that hadn’t been climbed in the winter. |

Sounds like ones died sadly but how many die I wonder that we never hear about.

I’d not heard about a Sherpa dieing. I’d read about the Spaniard. There was a rockfall reported a few days back that injured a Sherpa who needed an airlift from BC.

Hello - spotted late yesterday that the Women’s Climbing Symposium - through a group called United We Climb was running a strength/conditioning/core session which was free. It was about 40 minutes of stretches etc aimed at beginners/intermediates. There wasn’t really anything ‘new’ but it was a good refresher. Happy to pass on the link if anyone’s interested. They’re running an intermediate/advanced session which I might pop along to too next Monday evening. |
