Papa Landi Mountaineering. 6/7 Summits complete.

Well not sure if it ever ended. It did start at 9am with a quick breakfast at the 17,000ft feet camp; but whether by plan or by mistake...

We summited. My little prayer to have a nice day with not much wind was answered. Or maybe our guide holding the record for the most...

It was going to be the day. Conditions were generally calm and the whole camp decided to give it a shot. So after an early breakfast and...

They did say it would be the worst day. They did say we would carry a 70 lbs pack. They did say it would last 7 hours. It was all true....

Finally we get a break in the weather and we head for the big wall. Late start as we prefer for someone else to create the track through...

Another blustery day with heavy snow in the night and the morning. The wind on the ridge was too strong and the risk of avalanches too...

Not much happened today. Bad weather and we had to wait for another group to come down from the mountain and rescue our three...

Day 6 on the mountain. Day of rest at 11000 feet camp. Beautiful to wake up at 08:30am knowing you won’t kill your body for a day. Early...

On the day of our lord we found ourselves carrying food from our 11000 feet camp to 13500 feet (that is 4000m). No sleds, only backpacks...

Big move today. Between 9000 to 11000 feet. The toughest day so far for the amount of weight we carried. Rough calculations is: 50kg...

Day 3 on the mountain. Amazingly enough it took only 2 and half hour to break camp and be ready at four. Did I mention Bob and I were the...

Same line up routine: up at 1am to be ready by 3am but as usual we leave 1 hour late as some members of the team are slower at organising...

Day 1 on the mountain. Up at 1am. Sled and backpack preparation. Single line up the valley to camp 1. It rained for a good hour. Not...
