Legend.
I was very upet when I first heard about the project. But now I see this guy is not doing it for fame (maybe a little, yes) or big sponsoring money. Magic. This is, in alpinistic term, a milestone I would have never imagined “doable”. Magic.
“The spirit of adventure and true Alpinism is to find and “explore” new routes”
“Look at the young Slovenian talents and climbers like Jordi Corominas who repeated the second ascent of the Magic Line”
🤔
How many others have successfully climbed repeated the Magic Line?
This photo was posted in his instagram July 18. ???
Yes, under the photo caption says its from one of his recent summits, one of the Gasherbrums i think.
Well done to Nirmal Purja and his team. Nims reminds me of the late Swiss alpinist Ueli Steck, famous for his speed climbs in the Alps and Himalaya.
