Polish International Winter Nanga Parbat Expedition: Happy New Year

HiMountain Nanga Parbat Winter Expedition 2006/2007

Update: We would like to wish all the best in the New Year to our friends, readers and mountaineers.

Himountain Nanga Parbat Winter Expedition Team.

On the New Year’s Eve, the team consisting of Artur Hajzer (Himountain Team), Jacek Jawień and  Darek Załuski left the Base and went up in order to build Camp 3. The weather was quite good.
On the New Year, they reached Camp 2. Unfortunately, the wind on the ridge was too strong. Now, despite difficult weather conditions, they are preparing a bypass of the Wielicki Spur. They are leading a variant route on the right side of the Wielicki Spur. This would make the approach to Camp 2 faster and easier. As a result HAPs will probably be able to reach C2 with their cargo and return for night to C1. Today, the team is intending to climb in the direction of the depot left by Krzysztof Wielicki (Himountain Team) and his team. They also want to start fixing ropes to Camp 3. Unfortunately, the wind is very strong.

A cold weather, high altitude double boot for extreme conditions The Olympus Mons is the perfect choice for 8000-meter peaks. This super lightweight double boot has a PE thermal insulating inner boot that is coupled with a thermo-reflective outer boot with an integrated gaiter. We used a super insulating lightweight PE outsole to keep the weight down and the TPU midsole is excellent for crampon compatibility and stability on steep terrain. WEIGHT: 39.86 oz • 1130 g LAST: Olympus Mons CONSTRUCTION: Inner: Slip lasted Outer: Board Lasted OUTER BOOT: Cordura® upper lined with dual-density PE micro-cellular thermal insulating closed cell foam and thermo-reflective aluminium facing/ Insulated removable footbed/ Vibram® rubber rand See more here.
