    David Göttler will try Everest without bottled oxygen

    ByStefan Nestler 18. April 201918. April 2019

    It could be another record season on Mount Everest. Until last Tuesday, the Ministry of Tourism in Kathmandu alone issued 374 climbing permits for the south side of the world’s highest mountain. On the north side, the Chinese-Tibetan authorities have limited the number of climbing permits to 300 this spring. Last year, according to the…

    Where to with the dirty K2 laundry?

    ByStefan Nestler 17. April 201917. April 2019

    It’s quite normal that mountaineers return from an expedition with dirty clothes. After all, it’s important to travel with as little weight as possible. And that’s why, after the trip, the strong smell in the laundry room at home from clothes worn too long is simply part of it. But is it really necessary to…

    Lhakpa Sherpa not on Everest this spring

    ByStefan Nestler 12. April 201912. April 2019

    Mount Everest is fascinating, for many – like the more than 300 foreign mountaineers who will attempt to climb it this spring from Nepal alone – even a life’s dream. In the end, however, it remains only a mountain. And there are more important things in life. Also for Lhakpa Sherpa.  The 45-year-old native of…

    ByStefan Nestler 10. April 201910. April 2019

    He’s back. The South Korean Sung Taek Hong has again pitched up his base camp at the foot of the huge Lhotse South Face. For the sixth time, the 52-year-old has traveled to Nepal to tackle the 3,300-meter-high, extremely challenging eight-thousander wall. This time Hong has gathered an international team. As in his last attempt…

    The route is ready for the commercial expeditions on the Nepalese south side of Mount Everest. The “Icefall Doctors” have completed their job.

    All 8,000 in seven months? The clock’s ticking

    ByStefan Nestler 4. April 20195. April 2019

    How possible is the impossible? Nirmal, called Nims Purja has baptized his challenge “Project possible”. In just seven months, the 36-year-old wants to climb all 14 eight-thousanders. That sounds wacky, if not crazy. By the beginning of June, the Nepalese wants to have scaled six eight-thousanders in his home country: Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, Mount Everest, Lhotse,…

    Odyssey on Jannu with happy end

    ByStefan Nestler 2. April 20192. April 2019

    Big sigh of relief. After 18 (!) days on the seven-thousander Jannu in western Nepal, the two Russian climbers Dmitry Golovchenko and Sergey Nilov have returned safe and sound. In a picture spread on social media, they look emaciated, but happy. Two and a half weeks ago, Dmitry and Sergey had entered the East Face…

    Muhammad Ali Sadpara tackles Makalu

    ByStefan Nestler 29. March 201928. April 2019

    I guess it’s a classic win-win situation. The Nepalese expedition operator “Seven Summit Treks” benefits from the fact that Pakistan’s top climber Muhammad Ali “Sadpara” strengthens their rope fixing team on the 8,485-meter-high Makalu. And the 43-year-old thus gets the chance to scale the fifth highest mountain on earth in Nepal. The climber is financially…

    Tough struggle on the 7000er Jannu

    ByStefan Nestler 26. March 201928. March 2019

    For about a week the two Russians Dmitry Golovchenko and Sergey Nilov have been fighting their way through the East Face of the 7,710 meter high Jannu in eastern Nepal. The wall has never been completely climbed so far. In the past three days, the two climbers have made little progress due to bad weather….

    ByStefan Nestler 23. March 201923. March 2019

    I am moved, I am over the moon: The expedition “School up!” was successful. The summit has been reached – after almost four years of ascent, which demanded great commitment and staying power from all members. A few days ago the people in the small mountain village of Thulosirubari, some 70 kilometers east of the…

    The second highest mountain on earth has once again shown its teeth in winter. After the team from Kazakhstan, Russia and Kyrgyzstan, led by Vassiliy Pivtsov, had broken off their summit attempt on the Southeast Ridge of K2 at 7,500 meters due to poor visibility a week and a half ago, the Spaniard Alex Txikon…
