But Andrzej Bargiel who wants to ski down from the summit of K2 posted:
After a couple days with bad weather, snowfalls and no visibility, the sun has finally came out today. There’s a little “window” but according to various forecasts, the weather will change again in the evening. There is simply not enough time to think about a summit attack. We have to patiently wait for conditions to improve…
Best of luck to all
Climb On!
