Why
Pakistan? The objective of the Peace climb 2001
was Mt. Ararat in Turkey, which was chosen for its
historical and legendary background, as well as
being an ideal ascent for the Peace Climb crew to
get to know each other. The objective of the Peace
Climb 2002 is in Pakistan, and the reason behind
that is; Pakistan is a country among the wars and
fighting nations, a hot spot in the world, but
reasonable enough place to climb.. This magnificent
geography is not so far away from the
war-torn Afghanistan which strives for peace.. In
summary, the mountains of Pakistan are the perfect
setting for the symbolical Peace Climb.
Why
Broad Peak? Broad Peak is a mighty mountain and,
it is a fairly hard climb with some technical
ground towards the top; it is a worthy objective
for any high altitude climber. And for a small
team of
climbers in a big mountain, carrying all their
equipment themselves, pitching their own camps in
the classical fashion, and all this done without
supplementary oxygen.. It will be fairly hard.
So,
our two climbers, Tunc and Fernando will be
meeting in Islamabad at the beginning of June and
the two will be climbing up to their objective of
‘peace for all’ soon - in two months
time..
The
climb can be observed with dispatches being sent
to www.everestnews.com,
the biggest website about the climbs and
information on high peaks of the world..
