K2 filling up, lonely on Broad Peak
“It has been crazy to watch the daily influx of climbers and groups to K2, as they walk right next to our camp, but still no other team on Broad Peak except us,” report Mountain Professionals from camp 1.
“This is challenging for our team, since commonly in Pakistan teams band together to fix rope and we have been left to do the lions share here, since we heard at least two groups had problems getting in to Pakistan, and of course these were the ones that were most likely bringing lots of manpower and gear to contribute to fixing our route.”
Meanwhile MadisonMountaineering – one of the most resourceful teams on K2 – report work has begun there and included a shot of sunset on the lonely Broad Peak from K2 Base Camp.
