Ireland for K2 in 2005

A brief note reached ExWeb yesterday: "The Irish expedition to K2 is on big time. There has not been an Irish person on the summit of k2. The first attempt was in 1998 but was unsuccessful.
Terence 'Banjo' Bannon who climbed Everest from the North side and reached the summit with no sherpa, will attempt to climb on the south east ridge (Abruzzi) ridge. More details later."
Banjo climbed Everest with the Northern Ireland Everest Expedition in 2003. This was the same expedition where Jamie McGuiness worked with his Project Himalaya."
