Tomorrow, Denis Urubko and his wife, Maria Cardell, will set off from Base Camp via a new route on the Diamir Face toward the summit of Nanga Parbat.
“The route is calling,” Urubko told Mountain.ru. The Russian climber said that he and Cardell expect to spend four or five nights on the face during their pure alpine-style push.
Climbers elsewhere on Nanga Parbat and on other Karakoram 8,000’ers report very dry conditions and frequent rockfall. On the other hand, the weather has remained stable and warm.
