Austrian Golden Jubilee Expedition
Year 2006 has truly been celebrated as the Golden Jubilee Year of the First Ascent of Gasherbrum-II which was climbed for the first time 50 years back on 8th July 1956 by Austrian climbers Fritz Moravec, Josef Larch and Hars willenpart. A 25 members strong Austrian team led by Mr. Evald Putz and Mr. Josef Hinding arrived in Pakistan on 25th June 2006 in a bid to celebrate the Golden Jubilee of the first ascent of G-II in a befitting manner by putting their national flag on the summit of G-II during its Golden Jubilee year 2006. Finally 19-members of this Expedition including 2 Pakistani mountaineers were successful in reaching the 8035 Meters high summit of G-II from 26th July to 31st July 2006. That is how, very proudly, the Austrians celebrated the Golden Jubilee of the First Ascent of G-II.
Overall 21 Expeditions tried their luck on G-II, out of which 18 Expeditions have been successful in putting 126 members on the summit of G-II and only 03 Expeditions have returned un-successful.

K-2 (8611-M) Choghori

Nives MeroiNives during de-briefing at Alpine Club of Pakistan after summitted K2.
User Profile ImageYuka Komatsu (23), and Tatsuya Aoki (21),reached the summit on August 1, at 4:50 pm, local time.

07 Expeditions tried their luck on K-2 but only two Expeditions, one Italian and one Japanese were able to put 2- members each on top of K-2, which includes a couple (Husband and wife) form Italy, and Japanese pair, Miss Komatsu Yuka the first Japanese and the youngest lady summiteer of K-2 at the age of 23 years 10 months 09 days and Mr. Aoki Tatsuya the youngest summiteer of K-2 at the age of 21 years 10 Months 07 days. Unluckily the Russian Expedition on K-2 met a fatal accident on 13th August 2006. During their summit attempt on 13th August 2006, four of its members were caught in an avalanche at an altitude of 8350-M. In spite of 3-days hectic Search and Rescue Operations; they could not be traced and as such were declared dead.
Women on K2
Only 8 womens have ever summited on K2.
In 1986 Polish climber Wanda Rutkiewicz became the first women ever to reach the top of K2 and was followed to the summit that same year by French climber Liliane Barrard and British climber Julie Tullis, both of whom died on their descent. Then in 1992, the summer that Wanda Rutkiewicz perished on Kangchenjunga, French alpinist Chantal Mauduit summitted K2, and survived, only to die six years later on another 8000 meter peak.In 1995 British climber and mother Alison Hargreaves reached the top but was killed shortly after starting her descent.
Last year Edurne Pasaban from Spain has summited K2 on 26 July 2004 at 16.30. Edurne.Edurne Pasabán (30) was born in Tolosa (Basque Country, Spain). She has also climbed more 8000+ peaks than any other living female. She has bagged Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, GI, GII and K2 Nanga Parbat in just a few years.
Nives Meroi and husband Romano Benet K2 26th July 2006 at 10-30 am local time. The two climbers left on their summit push at 2:00 am that morning.
Nives has thus bagged her 8th 8000er. The couple has also achieved the first summits on K2 since 2004.
Nives Meroi was born in Bergamo in September, 1961. She has previously summited Nanga Parbat, Cho Oyu, GII, GI, Broad Peak, Lhotse, Dhaulagiri, and now K2. She also has reached Shisha Pangma’s Central Summit. Nives had attempted K2 twice (1994 and 2003through the north side) and Everest in 1999. She typically travels light, without oxygen or high-altitude porters.
Japanese first female K2 Climber Yuka Komatsu (23), and Tatsuya Aoki (21),reached the summit on August 1, at 4:50 pm, local time. Yuka has become the first Japanese lady climber to summit K2, and Tatsuya is now the youngest K2 summiteer ever.
No woman has ever scaled all 14, 8000ers.

Fatalities:

Pakistan mountains have kept 8 climbers this season - all except one - on the 8000+ peaks. Four died on K2, one on Broad Peak, two on Nanga Parbat and one on Spantik. On K2, an avalanche swept away four Russian climbers. On Nanga, one climber was caught in a storm on descent and another became lost between camp 2 and 3. On Broad Peak, a young climber died of exposure on descent from the summit, and on Spantik a lady climber also died of exposure on descent from summit.

Interesting idea to summarise the season in Pakistan. Fantastic job Karrar!
Keep the finger crossed for the last warriors in this season. What about winter? Any planned expeditions?

Re: Very nice.

Thanks for your nice comments.
No one has applied yet for Winter Expedition,
As you know that Ministry of Tourism has reduced the royalty,
5% royalty fee only on all Peaks during winter season (December - February).
Cheers,
Karrar

Good info

A point I would make is that a lot of the more interesting ascents (at least in my opinion!) of smaller peaks are missing, presumably because they did not need climbing permits. Most of these teams climbed in considerably better style than many of those listed and there were quite a few first ascents (I made 2 or 3 myself!). One of the best examples is the ascent of the north face of Uli Biaho Tower which was very impressive and definately more so than any Jagged Globe outing. Also, Baintha Brakk and the Ogre are the same peak.

Re: Good info

Dear Big Lee
Thanks for your Good Remarks.
You are an authority of mountains in Northern Area of Pakistan specially the peaks situated in Shimshal and Hunza,
As you know last year Government of Pakistan has announced that the Peaks upto 6500m during 2007 will be absolutely open to climb. No royalty fee will be charged and during briefing in Alpine Club of Pakistan they brief as trekkers and some time they didn’t mentioned their peak where they want to climb and it is difficult to us to mentioned their achievement, I will try to my best to collect the record of those mountaineers who climbed below 6500-M peaks during 2007 like Uli Biaho Tower etc.
Thanks for your point.

Very Well done

Thank you for putting all this informaton together, I found it very interesting. I enjoyed reading it. I do have one question. What is like to travel, or what is it like for an american to travel to Pakastan? Is there any Danger as far as being a American in a Muslim Country near Afghanastan?
Thank you.

Re: Very Well done

Dear hundy,Thanks for all the nice comments!
It has just been advertised by media so badly that people think it is so bad but in fact it is as safe as your home town. Pakistani people are moderate Muslims and every religion is accepted here. In media some time written by those who have never visited the country themselves. They seem to mix Afghanistan with Pakistan.
Pakistan is absolutely different country then Afghanistan and Iraq,I does not foresee any problems arising for visiting climbers, Pakistan is as safe as it ever was and we not only expects previous visitors to return, but for new visitors to come as well. Visiting climbers are very important to Pakistan and its Tourism department, Northern Area of Pakistan is a heaven for Climbers.
