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

Dispatch 20: Today is a nice and sunny day without wind. The classic summit day....

Unfortunately nobody climbed K2 since 2 years and the weather forecast for the next days give us few possibilities. We get 3 different forecasts from Spain and Austria (Innsbruck) and all reports said that from 3rd August since 6th there will be clouds, local snowfall and strong wind. There is still danger of avalanche over camp 3 and tomorrow I will go to C2 and C3 to take all my equipment. I cannot stay in BC over 9th August because I have to come back to Islamabad and than to Italy for the 15th august.

Only if I will find safe condition tomorrow I will try to go higher.... but I don’t trust to have so big luck....

Ciao Simone Moro
