Chinese 8000 meter team to try Makalu
in 2003
|
The Chinese team that is
attempting to summit all 14 of the
800 meter peaks plans to attempt Makalu in Spring
2003 with the help of Sherpas from Nepal. The
expedition failed to summit Makalu in Autumn 1996.
Last summer they attempted K2 and failed along with
the rest of the climbers. In 2001, they summited the
fore summit or rocky summit of Broad Peak, but
apparently did not go to the main summit. Therefore,
they have 10 of the 14 with 4 to go....
