  K2 2007 Summits : Now two climbers missing or dead ...


Copyright© Billy Pierson

Stefano Zavka, the Italian climber is missing on K2. Stefano Zavka is part of the Mountain Freedom expedition.

The weather as Hanif predicted is now very very bad up high.... "Not Advisable for any activity during Next 2 to 3 days, as Very Strong Winds at upper level(+20,000 ft)"

Earlier: A Sherpa reported from the Korean team has fell and is reported dead on K2. The name of the climber has not been released. Our prayers go out the many Sherpa families tonight.

On a more positive note, Libor Uher was the Czech climber who summited via the Cesen.

Earlier: K2 Summits are reporting in by the minute, note these are "reported" summits..

Here you go: Russians, Nickolai Kadoshnikov, Vict Afanasjev, Roman Gubanov and Alex Eliseev, Americans Chris Warner, Bruce Normand and Don Bowie

Joao Garcia Portugal
