Broad Peak – summit attempt
8th of July – The long awaited weather window that Mike and Köbi have been waiting for has finally come! Four clear days have been forecasted for the Kakaroum Valley Region, giving our eager alpinists the chance to attempt the summit of Broad Peak.
At 6 o'clock this morning Mike and Köbi finally put on their climbing gear and left base camp. Within four hours they had reached Base Camp 2 at 6'300m. After an eight hour wait they will head off again and start the ascent to the summit.
We expect to hear more news from Mike and Köbi arounf 6 -7pm local time (10pm Swiss) prior to their departure from the summit.
We'll keep you updated on their progress!!
