Simone Moro attempts Nanga Parbat (8125 meters), K2 (8611 meters) and Broad Peak (8047 meters) all in two months!

Dispatch 11: A very important personal result came! After only 20 days expedition I and JC Lafaille opened a new route, in alpine style on the Diamir face of Nanga Parbat. 2100 meters of new route arrived at 7000/7050 meters of altitude connecting the “classic” Kinshofer route above C3 (red points on the photo). On the route we met rock and ice at 65° and many mix climb. After climbed the new route we met Ed Viesturs on the classic route and the day after we went to 7500 m., at camp 4. I stopped at 7400 meters because my acclimatisation is not finished and I decided to came back to BC. to regenerate. I will try summit after 4-5 days.

Lafaille and Ed Viesturs are now at 150 meter near the summit making track in a very deep snow. Inshallah.....   2 days ago also Inaki Ochoa and Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner summited Nanga Parbat on the classic route. The condition of the mountain are going every day worst for the daily snowfall. Simone
