"Since I have got several blackmails und threats from some people of the Climbers community I hereby state, that I am not willing to discuss and much less defend summiting K2.
Furthermore, for me it is of no importance to be on any of the ?summiters? lists. Just want to remind that webplatforms are not considered being in court. If climbing 8000+peaks (and only there) includes experiencing all the bad rumours and threats I had to endure since summiting K2 I don't want to be a member of this "climbing community" any more. I know very well who started spreading the rumors/story - I just refer to the book of Michael Kodas "High Crime".
I am not climbing for anybody else but me!
Best regards,
Christian Stangl"
Comment from the Editor:
Christian Stangl attempts to be the first on a new climbing list, the so called "Second Seven Summits", which includes K2, so he should like to clear all the doubts for himself as well. Let's hope, that he changes his mind.

KAF doubts Miss Oh's Kangchenjunga Ascent |

The question about who is the first lady climber, who ascended all 14 Main-8000ers is still not answered completely! Even the Korean Alpine Federation (KAF) is doubting the Kangchenjunga ascent of Oh Eun-Sun as well now. Now it needs to wait, until Miss Hawley has spoken with the third Sherpa climber, who was on Kangchenjunga with Miss Oh in spring 2009, Pema Tshering. It's a pity, but one of the two other Sherpa climbers, must have lied, either Dawa Wangchuk, who said, they were on top, or Nurbu, who said, they were only near the Rappel area, which is quite far from the top.

On August 5th, Mingma Sherpa summited Gasherbrum I with the Korean expedition. It was his 13th Main-8000er, he only needs Kangchenjunga to be the first Nepali, who climbed all the 14. He also is the first Nepali, who climbed all five Pakistani 8000ers! Also his brother Chhang Dawa summited, it was his seventh Main 8000er already. The tables are updated, please find them in the download section!
report
Also the Brazilian born American lady climber Cleo Weidlich summited the same day!
