K2 South: equipment swept away by the wind at camp III

After a recup of the equipment availability also at at camp II and I, K2 2004 mountaineers were offered by the three members of “Al filo de lo imposible “, at camp III  with our team the use of their tents to sleep for the night

"What we found at camp III left us amazed – Silvio Gnaro Mondinelli says - “The wind was very, very strong and it literally swept  away every thing: our tents and our equipment which costed us a lot of time and great effort to carry,  went lost!”

After a recup of the equipment availability also at at camp II and I, K2 2004 mountaineers were offered by the three members of “Al filo de lo imposible “, at camp III  with our team,  the use of their tents to sleep for the night .

In the meantime, Karl Unterkircher was able to recover “Colle Sud” tent  which will host mountaineers who will be getting tomorrow up to camp II.

It is for us particularly important to thank the Spanish team for their generosity and collaboration
