As happened in the past, too often, many climbers claimed to have summited Manaslu in these days.![]()
Until proper data and pictures, these claims remains unproven.![]()
![]()
For example, @thebroadboy , who claimed the summit in the caption of photo below, seems to stand on C2 fore summit.![]()
See below the summits map : 4 is the true summit, seen in 2nd&3rd photo .![]()

Of course, we'll be glad to update and correct the news, if he can provide true summit photos/data about his climb.![]()

A beautiful tribute to the great Sherpa's heart .My Sherpa brother for life.![]()
![]()
Behind the scenes, my best friend Pasang Kaji Sherpa ran our K2 logistical operation. From all that went right to all that could have gone wrong, he was the one coordinating, facilitating and orchestrating it all. ![]()
![]()
The things he did on this expedition, no human being should be asked to do. Anything that was asked of him by Sajid, he did from the purest place in his heart. From helping our young hero dig a snow grave at 8000m, aiding in carefully moving his father to the burial site, assisting in covering up Juan Pablo so no one would see him, monitoring the technology recovery mission at 8300m, giving up his own food and oxygen, single handedly saving Fazal Ali’s life by forcing supplemental oxygen into him at camp 4, the list goes on and on. He’s the unsung hero here who stands quietly in the background deserving of accolades and yet would never breathe a word.![]()

We are all indebted to the incredible Sherpas of Nepal. Our good friends at Himalayan Guides / Madison Mountaineering were allies in our mission. Ang Phurba, Lakpa, Dorge, Sidi and the entire crew from Nepal, we are indebted to you for your extraordinary work on K2. Garret, Conan, John, Rob and Kenton, it was a real pleasure to have your support as our schedule ran in parallel to yours. And Lakpa, Pemba Rita and Sanu from Pioneer, this was a collective effort all around. ![]()
![]()
Our Sherpa friends were the first to lay eyes upon our missing friends and we thank you for the assistance, cooperation and assisted coordination every step of the way. ![]()

I’ve been learning repeated lessons in humility from these great men for 15 years and K2 has reinforced it once again. They’re the strongest climbers in the world and yet remain the most humble. The most gracious on the planet and most accomplished above the clouds and yet never breathe a word of the difficulty and hardship. ![]()

To my friend Pasang - you went above and beyond. Thank you for being the human being that you are, the leader that you are and the friend that you are for life.![]()

In my short career as amateur writer and chronicler in mountaineering, a special person gave me lots of help, hints, encouragement and the rare opportunity to write for @rockandicemag in English.![]()
I call him "my editor",@odm_2.0 Michael Levy.![]()
I knew he was somewhere in the Andes, but I didn't know he was climbing with badass @adamtheclimber Adam Bielecki .![]()

the most disturbing news so far from Broad Peak.![]()
This is plain horrible.Lotta Hintsa, The Finnish Climber who has been attempting to climb Broad Peak along with Canadian Don Bowie, revealed the terrible state of poor Selena Khawaja, who has been alone in the Base Camp for a few days hoping to climb Broad Peak. ![]()
Her father Yousaf Khawaja who accompanied her to the base camp, albiet too late, felt sick to the extent that he was evacuated to Skardu by Helis. Leaving 12-year-old Selena at the mercy of porters and had ordered her to follow the porters to the top of Broad Peak and not to call off the expedition. Scared Selena, yesterday, refused to climb alone and she has also been evacuated by Pakistani Army helis. ![]()
Nothing can more understate the irresponsible behavior of father Yousaf Khawaja who risked the life of his own daughter and the sponsors who financed such an expedition. With the craze of climbing sweeping like wildfire in Pakistan, hordes of untrained and irresponsible climbing enthusiast are set to create more problems for themselves and others at high altitudes.![]()
