Polish climbers do it again - K2 Summit !

28 people summited K2 on July 31st!
Out of the 28 trailblazers only 4 were without oxygen:
Polish Adam Bielecki and Iranian Azim Ghaychesaz at 10.30 am, followed by Austrian Christian Stangl and Spanish Oscar Cadiach at 5 pm. The next day Slovak Peter Hamor and Czech Pavel Bem climbed K2 without 02 as well.

The result at this point: 30 people climbed K2 in 2012 including 6 without oxygen!!

You might recall Polish Adam Bielecki (28) from this past March when he and Janusz Golab bagged the first winter climb on GI (Hidden Peak) in an expedition led by Artur Hajzer. He was also with Artur's Polish team who summited Makalu last year, an achievement followed by a complicated descent in very tough conditions. An accomplished climber who soloed Khan Tengri, Adam will join the Polish Alpine Association's attempt to climb Broad Peak this upcoming winter.
This is going to be so cool and I think we will se the first winter climb on BP...done by this these guys!
A little bonus,  my climbing partner (on Lhotse) Tomasz Kobielski hope to participate in the expedition. With Tomasz on the team - their make the strongest team for a cold and long winter in BP
