G2 ErrorsKarrar,
There are some significant errors in your report:
- there were two deaths on G2, the avalanche that you note above killed two Amical clients.
- it did not kill the Czech climber, his death was on G1
- that is a total of 5 deaths, not 3
- you have a photo of Jean Troillet but do not mention that his team made a late ascent of G2, in fact the only ascent of G2 from Pakistan in 2007 (not including the Italians from China).

Re: G2 ErrorsThe deaths are not five it is Six,You are right that there were two deaths on G II, Killed Amical clients and in the same expedition a women name Ms Ulrike Gschwandtner was died due to heart failure, detail is as under:-
German Amical Alpine G II Expedition Led by Dirk Groeger
1 Ms Ulrike Gschwandtner of Austria
Died on 3rd July 2007 due to heart failure.
2 Mr. Arne Heckele of Germany
died on 18th July 2007 being hit by Avalanche.
3 Mr.Ernst Robert Zanner of Germany
died on 18th July 2007 being hit by Avalanche.
4 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 Gasherbrum I 8068-M.This peak remained hidden because it lies in one of the Most difficult terrains which is surrounded by the some of the highest peaks around.
5 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.
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.
I have already mentioned in my report that This year was an un-successful climbing year for G II, 14 Expeditions were granted permission to climb G-II out of which just one has been successful in putting its 04 members on the summit of G-II, All remaining 13 Expeditions returned without success.
Swiss G-I, G-II, Broad Peak & K2 Expedition 2007
1. Jean Troilet (L) Swiss
2. Roux Freserfc Swiss
3. Olivier Roduit Swiss
4. Michael Horna South Africa
5. Ribeiro Da Silva Davide French
Successful (G-I) 29th July 2007
1. Jean Troilet Swiss
2. Roux Freserfc Swiss
3. Olivier Roduit Swiss
4. Michael Horna South Africa
Successful (G-II) 11th August 2007
1. Jean Troilet Swiss
2. Roux Freserfc Swiss
3. Olivier Roduit Swiss
4. Michael Horna South Africa
The report of Mountaineering Expedition 2007 is only from Pakistan side not Chinese side.
Thanks

Fatalties On G2This is great Karrar. Lots of information, well done. You have not mentioned the two fatalities which occurred on Gasherbrum 2 though
