They will fly on April 17. to Lhasa in Tibet. It will take them 2- 3 days by Jeep and two more days by foot to get to basecamp of Shishapangma. The Goal of the expedition is to climb a new route on the Soutface.
“If we are very lucky we will climb the soutface and then we want to descend to the northside. So it would be a traverse of mount Shishapangma as well and not only a new route. But this is a very ambitious plan thats for sur. But everybody needs a dream. And of course a dream without a plan is just a wish. We have a very good plan so we are just positive. We are getting climatized. David and myself having good fun. Yesterday we were doing a advanced run from Chukung to Island Peak (6189m.) A good day out 20 km and 1700 vertical meters. The next step will be to sleep two nights on island peak. We keep you updated.”
