Jul 26, 2004 08: 23 EST
First 8000m summit of the season! We just got word from Carlos Pauner’s wife, Mila, that Carlos has summited Gasherbrum I today. She did not have any additional info as she only received the message by SMS.
AdventureWeather.com shows that today the wind speeds are hovering around 10 m/s. Carlos was climbing with Raquel Pérez and Willy Barbier, however, we do not know if they all summited, just Carlos’ has been confirmed.
The Spanish climber launched his summit bid yesterday morning. We will update when we find out more. In addition, Katja Staartjes, a Dutch woman made the summit as well!
Carlos Pauner, Raquel Pérez and Willy Barbier planned to climb both Gasherbrums this summer.
Carlos has summited 4, 8000m peaks – K2, Makalu, Broad Peak, and Kangchenjunga.
