Baruntse home safe
May 5, 2004 22: 07 EST
Simone had planned a report and pics for us today, but after a hard days climb the guys ended up in BC with dead batteries. We'll have to wait for the images, but the team is now down and safe. Simone's webmaster had this short call from Simone today:
"We are down, everything ok. Hear us tomorrow for details and pictures.
Thank you for following us..."
Well - thank YOU guys for a great climb and awesome reports!
First off, the Italian/Kazakh combo Denis Urubko and Simone Moro, along with Camos, climbed the North Wall on Baruntse, 7129m.
They reached the Kali Himal (Black Summit) of Baruntse, also known as the North Summit at 7014m via a new route up the North Face. The true summit was left untouched due to hard wind. Next, Simone and Denis will move to Annapurna’s North Face, attempting a new line on it.
