Gerfried Goschl and team - missing on G1

Gerfried Goschl, Cedric Hahlen and Nisar Hussain - are missing since Friday.

Right Now on G1 - all the remaining teams are trying to help.

"Hopes are anyway scarce, since no one knowns for sure on which side of the mountain the missing climbers are. Last time the missing climbers were seen, they were approaching the summit from the peak's south side. Once on top, the trio planned to traverse down the normal route on the north side. There's been neither sat-phone or radio contact.

I really hope for the best - you are all in my prayers.

Alex Txikon, who had also hoped to join the searching team, has finally remained in BC, nursing frostbitten toes. Summiteers Janusz and Adam, and fellow Polish Tamara Stys, are also sustaining frostbites".   (tekst from www.explorersweb.com/)



Not all is bad......The Polish team are back from the summit. 

The brave and incredible strong Polish team were the first to climb G1 -  in winter!!!

Congratulations. A achievement which can only admire and inspire.

However, there is no time to celebrate the great achievement - all trying to find the lost climbers and not at least explain what happened!!
