Broad
Peak Winter 2003 Expedition
|
| Update 2/21/2003:
Silvio phoned, First
of all the members of Broad Peak winter expedition
would like to thanks the team of K2 winter
expedition for
the nice message that they wrote to them. They
take this opportunity to send their motto: hold
out and hopefully we will say to each other "OLA"
from the top of the the 2 mountain that, if the
weather conditions will change for the
better, we will be able to reach. Gnaro (Silvio) in
particular would like also to send a special
"Good Luck" to his good friend
Denis
Urubko and hope to see him on Nanga Parbat
next summer when it will be warmer!!!
Regarding the "Al
Filo de lo Imposible" Broad Peak expedition, this
morning the weather finally broke so they reached
Camp I, but all the tents were blown away.
Fortunately on their way back down, they found
some of the most essential equipment that they
absolutely need to be able to go up in the
mountain. Tonight it started snowing and the wind
blasted Base Camp. Their plan now is wait for a
good weather window and then make a go of it
Alpine Style; that means the climbers will go up
as light as they can (they do not have any more
ropes, spare tents, stove etc...) and continually
move up the mountain "light and fast". When will
that happen" Stay tuned.
