Jun 16, 2004 10: 54 EST
Iztok Tomazin, Andrej Tercelj and Stojan Burnik (team leader, Cho Oyu 1995) intend to ski down from Gasherbrum II. Together with Marko Car, Tomazin in 1995, made a ski descent from Gasherbrum I via the North wall. He has also ascended Dhaulagiri in 1987, Cho Oyu in 1988, Shisha Pangma Central-Peak in 1993 and Gasherbrum I in 1995
Iztok Tomazin's objective is to climb alone or with other climbers on a new route on Gasherbrum I, if there is enough time left after the G2 ascent and ski descent.
Irena Mrak's objective is to make a direct crossing from Gasherbrum II to Gasherbrum I.
The team will also be collecting data for the study of the impact of tourism on the Baltoro Glacier region. They will arrive in Pakistan on June 22nd.
Last year there were several teams on the Gasherbrums, including Adventure Consultants, Araceli Segarra and Hector Ponce de Leon, and a Hungarian team. This year there are 8 expeditions permitted to climb the Brums, only the Slovenians and Carlos Pauner’s team are going to GI and GII, the others are going to GII only.
