<b>He's summited his 21st 8000er today!</b> This is an <a href=//canales.elcorreodigital.com/varios/expedicion04_k2/noticia_21.html>interview (in Spanish)</a> previous to his K2 ascent

<a href=//www.marca.es/edicion/noticia/0,2458,567706,00.html>His next target is Nanga Parbat though he wants to climb Kilimanjaro firstly (in Spanish)</a>

Oiarzabal is planning Nanga Parbat as I said before, so probably they they won't tie. Let see how he recover from his frostbites

Thanks Diego for a remarkably interesting and informative post. The expedition list is worth looking at and also the whole website

Yep Cy

i just checked www.mounteverest.net they said oiarzabal will NOT be going on an expedition this year because of his injuries....

daa, where in www.mounteverest.net have you checked that? I can't find anything about it

Diego:

Juanito is not going anywhere, at least that's what he said this last Saturday in Bilbao. His feet are all f***ed up and he gained 10 kilos! He didn't go for Aconcagua this season, as he was planning to, much less to the Rupal face in Nanga, the biggest alpine face in the world.

Viesturs has 20 8000ers now

Now Juanito Oiarzabal is leading a reality show in the Basque television: <a href=//www.eitb.com/operacion_pirineos/experto.asp?hizk=ESP>Operación Pirineos</a>

As far as I know Viesturs has done Cho Oyu 3 times, Everest 6 and the rest of the 8000'ers once. That's a grand total of 21 8000'ers.

That's false Duseks, Ed has climbed Cho Oyu twice, Everest 6 and the rest of the 8000ers once. That's a total of 2+6+12 = 20. More <a href=//www.mounteverest.net/story/ExWebSpecialEdViestursIstillhavepeaksthatIwanttoclimbMay122005.shtml><b><i>here</i></b></a>
