Currently in Nepal on preparatory trek in Langtang valley prior to Shishapangma expedition…. Yes another attempt!
This is a site about reaching 8000m and above - without oxygen and without support "What we get from this adventure is just sheer joy. And joy is, after all, the end of life. We do not live to eat and make money. We eat and make money to be able to enjoy life. That is what life means and what life is for" George Herbert Leigh Mallory - 18 June 1886 – 8 June/9 June 1924

Hey Mark!
ReplyDeleteI've just read "K2 Danger and Desire on the Savage Mountain" documenting Austrian climber Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner's conquering of K2 without oxygen, making her one of the few to have summited all 14 peaks above 8000m in that way. Amazing! Wish you all the luck my friend. Regards, your cousin, Martin Joubert
Hey Martin, thank you so much for the post. Really appreciate it. Somehow just need to overcome the "pull" to go down. Going to give it my best shot!
ReplyDeleteHi Mark, Always known you as the "never give up" chap. Good luck and I will be following closely. Holding thumbs, Cheers, Gary Hau
ReplyDeleteWatching from the beach in KZN with keen interest....I am in awe of your tenacity and drive. All the best....Jill
