Nanga Parbat Winter Expedition – Timelapse from Basecamp

Here is the English translation: “Hi, today is Jan 14th, we’re at Base Camp, and we’re taking advantage of two days of rest, saturday and sunday, to organize both the camp and our thoughts. To us it’s clear by now that we won’t be climbing the Kinshoffer, which remains in the plans of the Polish Team, and we will try to follow the path of the great Reinhold, and we’re dreaming about closing that route that he thought could bring to the summit. We will summit the Ganalo Peak, from where we can observe the wall better, and after that we can be more precise. Hi to everyone!” Follow us on: www.thenorthfacejournal.com After their first winter ascents of Gasherbrum II, The North Face® Expedition Team is now attempting the first winter ascent of Nanga Parbat 8125 meters. This Expedition features only Simone Moro and Denis Urubko without Cory Richards; the third of the trio on the last GII winter ascent. The aim of the expedition is to realize the first winter ascent of Nagna Parbat 8125 meters, a mountain also known with the name of “killer mountain” due the difficulties and the tragedies happen during the attempts to conquer the summit between 1930 and 1953. Also after that years a lot of fatalities involved alpinists of different nationalities on Nanga Parbat.
