Yesterday, Sergi Mingote and Stefi Troguet reported from Camp 4 that they would head toward the top at 1am local time, along with Moesses Fiamoncini, Vitaly Lazo, Anton Pugovkin, Cala Cimenti and Troguet’s guide, Ali Sadpara. Their tracking devices show that the climbers did reach the main summit of Nanga Parbat earlier today. Cala Cimenti then began his ski down; no further word on that. Meanwhile, Troguet’s InReach indicates that she has now descended to just over 7,100m, the altitude of Camp 4. Mingote is nearby.

Stefi Troguet, “probably the happiest girl from the top of Nanga Parbat,” she tweeted.
Check Troguet’s, Mingote’s and Cimenti’s devices to follow their descent.

Rumors and unanswered questions
Mountain.ru reported yesterday that French climber Boris Langenstein summited Nanga Parbat on July 1. Details are still to come, but if confirmed, he would have bagged the first 8000’er this season.
Rumours are also circulating that Nirmal Purba showed up in Base Camp surrounded by five Sherpas, presumably to join the group up Nanga Parbat. There is no confirmation or announcement by Nims himself or by his usual outfitter, Seven Summit Treks. We’ll update again later today, after the summiters return to camp.

The only reason she’s climbing an 8000er is to expand her followers. She’s not really “altitude addicted” as she claims to be. You can see right through these people.
I don’t know, if you check out her instagram its full of photos of her climbing, rock climbing, free skiing and performing all kinds of high altitude extreme sports. She obviously has skills with an ice axe, crampons and knows how to fix rope and enough experience having already climbed Denali, Aconcagua, Ama Dablam and I dont know what else. If you ask me if someone can pretend to have the mountain spirit its her and not one of those vacation climbers the mountains got filled with.
Thank you so much ….. 🙏🏼🙏🏼❤ I appreciate that so so much !!! ❤
Stefi, didn’t Boris Langenstein summit before all of you? So HE ‘opened’ the route.
