Update:
Camp 2 has been set up by
the MOL-K2 expedition
The MOL-K2 expedition’s camp
1 and camp 2 have been set up by taking advantage of last days’ good weather
conditions. After the weekend stormy weather is to be expected, but as soon as
it’s gone our climbers hopefully are going to be ready for the summit push.
As the team leader Lajos
Kollár reported, four members of the team (Katalin Csollány, Zsolt Erőss,
Markos Huba, Jaro Dutka) have reached and set up camp 2 at 6700 meters. After
spending the night they have returned to the base on Wednesday. If good
weather conditions remain the other 3 members of the MOl-K2 expedition (Lajos
Kollár, László Mécs and Dan Borcea) will take a look at camp 2, to sort the
equipment and to acclimatize. Zoltán
