Nanga Parbat Base Camp, 4230mt above sea level, -20°C
Yesterday the boys returned back to Basecamp after spending a night out at 5555mts -> Last Update Here
Today is the first day of rest at Base Camp after 3 days on the mountain.
According to Simone and Denis; “Today we had a great sun, and we had it for an hour longer than usual because it manages to stay higher than the Mazeno Ridge.
It was our chance to wash and shave, and then run towards the kitchen fire to dry up as quickly as possible.
The Polish team is here, they will probably go up tomorrow. They fixed 200mt of ropes, and they still have to set up the iced area before they reach the Kinshofer wall.
Today we also prepared the heli landing area, stomping on the snow and leveling it out… it’s better to be always ready.
The Next goal is to reach camp 2 at 5800mt, and the route we want to follow to the summit starts there. For the moment, we are only looking at photos of it. We keep our heads rest before we jump back into this winter exploration of Nanga Parbat…
Here we share some images from our time out in the Mountains in the last 3 days.
