There are are already 13 days that we are in base camp after our climb of Batokshi Peak6050 m. We spent those days here in base camp climbing on the boulders here around, walking n the slake line, make some escursions, reparing our generators, but most of the time we were waiting for the good weather. In fact we get rain and snow and heavy clouds.

Now it looks that the wait is close to be finished. This morning we received the weather forecast from our friend of Insbrck,Karl Gabl, and he predict the arrival of high pressure and low wind starting from Wednesday till Sunday.  That’s why this morning we were smiling doing our daily training ? and we prepared our plans for beak Brakai Chhok 6940 m

Wednesday Martin und Florian Riegler will start their trekking back to the village of Bar and than the long road trip to Islamabad. Their time is close to be finished and they have to go back in taly. They already told me their intention to come back here next year to complete what they started… In fact they climbed 14 pitches  on the virgin wall of Darwo Chhok that is like a “El Capitan” situated between 4800 and 5800 m on Baltar Glacier.

Probably I will come with them next year to continue that climb and realize a spectacular big wall climb I this wild place.  I saw that face already in 2005 and suggested them and  should be nice to  realize the dream together….
