7 November, 2002 WINTER INTERNATIONAL K2 EXPEDITION Denis Urubko wrote: This winter we are leaving for K2. Polish expeditions led by Krzysztof Wielicki made several attempts from the South in the end of 90-ies but failed due to very deep snow. However, in 2000 their reconnaisance showed that snow conditions are better from the North. This winter they intended to made a strong team and invited several climbers from ex-USSR. However, it appears that only Gia Tortladze from Georgia, Ilyas Tukhvattulin from Uzbekistan, Vassili Pivtsov and me can participate in the expedition. We plan to start from Bishkek on December 17 by trucks to the Chinese border and then through Kashgar to the Base Camp at the mountain. After our recent ascent on Shishapangma in the beginning of winter monsoon I can clearly imagine that we will face considerable difficulties. But this makes the climb more challenging and attractive. I hope that my acclimatization after previous eight-thousander will not dissappear completely in two month and will help in the beginning of the climb.
