    Having actually summited Gasherbrum 2 in summer I can not even fathom how much harder it would be in winter. What these guys did especially the first winter ascent in the Karakorum is out of this world incredible!

      A Nepalese team climber K2 recently climbed in winter. You’d know that I guess having climbed Gasherbrum. I’ve not even been to Asia. My soul,is with the mountains though. It’s no surprise that so many religions come from the mountains…not just the Himalayas. There’s something about them to me.

    In March 2009 we went to GII from the Chinese side, up the GII glacier, trying to find a route for a first winter ascent via that side. Jaques Olek organized this trip. Needless to say, that glacier was deadly. Congratulations on the first ascent!

      There are options: some may dislike the friendship that happens on the mountain between alpinists of any race\people\country, or there are some fuckheads who think alpinism is possible without tears, pain and falls... Anyways, this is a good video, and much respect goes to Simone Moro and Denis Urubko for keeping the international spirit of alpinism high!

    Mountain climbing, is so challenging because you enter a space were humans are not supposed to go. It is hostile territory. 5'26" & 7'06" my god ! Physically so demanding. I believe you pushed it too far, you were lucky. ( luck comes to those who are prepared !? ). I am very happy to see you made it back :0) Special thanks to the cameraman who had the strenght and courage to keep on filming.
