4 Climbers summited Nanga Parbat!!! The Kazakh team (Alexey Raspopov, Serguey
Lavrov, Vassiliy Litvinov) and Serguey Bogomolov (Russian) reached Nanga Parbat
summit at 12,00 with cloudy weather. Damir Molgachev returned at C4 without summit
for cold problems. He will try again in this night, together with Inaki Ochoa
and Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner (Austrian climber who is just after the Italian Kangchenjunga
expedition, she's well-acclimatized and wants to try Nanga too - ed. note). Today
also Simone Moro, JC Lafaille and Ed Viesturs will start from BC for the summit.
Simone and Lafaille will try to open in alpine style a new route (red point of
the photo) and Ed will climb Kinshofer route. They will meet at Camp 3 and they
will continue together to the summit.... We
hope that the weather report will be good Simone,
