10 Nepalese from 3 expeditions went down in history as the first to climb the 8 thousandth most difficult K2 in the winter. This was the only peak that was not conquered during this period by the 14.
Nepalese came together to do the unthinkable. They left around 1am and reached the top at 5pm or after an incredible 16 hours of hiking.
Ten meters before him, the ten gathered in one place, held hands and walked together, so that no one would be the first to achieve it.
Nimal Purdja, Galesh Sherpa, Minma David Sherpa, Mingma G, Sona Sherpa, Mingma Terzi Sherpa, Pam Hiri Sherpa, Dava Temba Sherpa, Kili Pemba Sherpa and Dava Tenzin Sherpa sang and sang the hymn of their homeland to commemorate the occasion.
K2, which is 8611 meters, was considered invincible in winter due to temperatures of minus 40 degrees and winds of 200 km / h. According to all climbers, it is much more difficult to climb than Everest, even in summer.
Nimal Purja is the climber who 2 years ago set a record that is unlikely to improve by climbing all 14 eight thousand of the world in 6 months and 6 days. The previous peak was over 7 years.
However, K2 also took a victim at the same time. Spanish Sergi Mignote died while descending from Camp 3 to base camp, falling into a crevasse. He is 46 years old and was a member of the expedition, which includes our Atanas Skatov.
So far this winter, there have only been 4 expeditions to K2, all without success. The first is from 1987 by the great Pole Andrzej Zawada. His compatriots Marcin Katskan and Denis Urubko reached 7650 meters above sea level, which was the record for this peak.
