Peter Guggemos K2 2005: The Quest for K2

Skardu Peter Guggemos

We have got some news from Peter Guggemos. The flight to Skardu was over booked. ATP has managed to get a seat and could fly out as a planed. It was great flight with wonderful view of the mountains and landscape. Peter wanted to make faster approach to Base Camp but had to spend 3 days in Skardu, because of bureaucracy. Finally he could leave direction to Base camp with 3 Pakistani friends (staffs). Right now the weather is good, if the weather is constant, in a few days he is in Base camp.
