Fatalities

Six fatalities occurred during the mountaineering season 2007 in Pakistan.

1 Ms Ulrike Gschwandtner of Austria Member German Amical Alpine G II Expedition Led by Dirk Groeger.
died on 3rd July 2007 due to heart failure.

2 Mr. Arne Heckele of Germany Member German Amical Alpine G II Expedition Led by Dirk Groeger.
died on 18th July 2007 being hit by Avalanche.

3 Mr.Ernst Robert Zanner of Germany Member German Amical Alpine G II Expedition Led by Dirk Groeger.
died on 18th July 2007 being hit by Avalanche.

4 Italian ZAVKA STEFANO died on 20th July 2007
He was the member of Italian K2 Expedition 2007 led by Nardi Daniele.
Zavka Stefano was missed when he was descending from summit of K2.

5 Czech Jiri Danek died on 29th July 2007
He was the member of Czech Gasherbrum I & Gasherbrum II Expedition 2007 led by renowned Zech mountaineer Josef Nazerka
Jiri Danek was lost his life on Hidden Peak.

6 Nepali Nima Nurbu Sherpa died on 20th July 2007
He was the member of Korean Dynamic Busan K2 & Broad Peak Expedition 2007 led by Hong Bo Seong .
Sherpa Nima fell to his death from bottle neck.
Bottleneck is the place for K2's greatest history of triumph and tragedy. At 8300 meters, the 100-meter narrow couloir is cold and windswept; the hard ice with an incline of 80-90 degrees can create extremely challenging, sustained climbing. Most climbers who died on K2 perished in falls and most on or around the Bottleneck.

Iranian on K2

Hi Karrar

Did you hear anything about Kazem Faridian who in 2007 was the first Iranian to reach the summit of K2? In the Iranian climbing sites I have been reading that he carried an Iranian flag that did not have the emblem of the Islamic Republic. That caused a lot of controversy.

Re: Iranian on K2

Yes I know very well about Kazem Faridyan,and you can see the flag here,last year he was awarded certificate on his success on K2 in Alpine Club of Pakistan http://www.explorersweb.com/sitemedia/TSthumbs/k2climb/20050726xbp1.jpg

Congratulations To All Climbers

My goal is to come back and climb Golden Peak/Spantik by 2012. Perhaps we'll get to meet up then for some tea at the Sports Complex.

Thanks for the report.
