In these hours a stunning First Ascent was achieved on Chamlang (7319 m), Nepal by Czech climbers Marek Holeček and Zděnek Hák.
The difficult, technical route goes up straight to the North West Face, the two climbers are descending from South side and ran out of food since 2 days ; they are already near the glacier at the bottom and this night could possibly be the last bivouac before reaching the safety.
Details will follow in next days.

Nirmal Purja MBE: "Project Possible - 14/7"
The level of damage and risk to Dr Chins life may have been avoided, if the emergency insurance company had acted quicker.
If you aren’t willing to act at the point of emergency, why sell the service in the first place ? I’m very upset and angry with the rescue company that Dr Chin was a customer of.
Bare in mind Annapurna 1 is not Everest or any other 8000ers . It’s one of most dangerous and hardest 8000m peak to climb. As a leader of fixing lines/ropes on this mountain, I hadn’t slept for days during the summit push as we had to start early so that the ropes and trail blazing is done before the main team commits. Almost all of the season mountaineers thought it was impossible to summit Annapurna due to snow conditions.
After knowing that Dr Chin was missing, I held my team and some of the strongest members on the Expedition for the rescue of Dr Chin at camp 4. We were waiting for Oxygen to get dropped off at us by helicopter so we could go start searching for him on the mountains. ( this is all what his insurance company had to do , just drop 6 bottles of Oxygen at Camp 4 where I was on standby with my rescue team)
I was told that the rescue company denied the emergency help and I couldn’t hold my team any longer at the extreme altitude risking their life. I was the last man to leave camp 4 and I had thought he was possibly dead by then on those dangerous slopes.
I arrived at the base camp with my team very late that night. Next morning, I could hear a helicopter which went on Recce and I was told Mr Chin is alive. His wife paid for the helicopter to go and confirm.
After sleeping for only 4 hrs, Project Possible 14/7 team ( @nimsdai, @mingma_david_sherpa @galjen_s2009 @gesmantamang ) were triggered for the rescue mission
What it took us 16 hrs to get to Dr Chins location on the summit push from camp 3, we cover the same distance in 4 hrs at this emergency situation.
Finally we got him down to camp 3, from where he was picked by heli on longline. He’s critical at the hospital and his life is still in danger and even if he survive he may lose his limbs. This could have been easily avoided.
