Gerlinde on Top of K2
Tuesday, 23 August 2011 12:45

Finally she made it! At 18h18 local time Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner finished the 14 8000ers! She is now the first lady climber with all 14 8000ers without the use of bottled oxygen. Also Vassili Pivtsov and Maksut Zhumayev are not far from finishing the 14 8000ers with her! Darek Załuski from Poland is also on his way to the top.

Update: All four climbers were on top and are now on descent. They hope to reach Camp IV.

Keep the fingers crossed for a safe return.

Update: All are safe back in BC and soon on their way home.
