Ueli Steck has success climbing Gasherbrum II

This comes a bit late as the blog is only just up and running, but better late than never!!

On July 9th Ueli reached the main 8035m summit of Gasherbrum II, the 14th highest peak on earth, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasherbrum_II


Sounds like he didnt have it so easy with the conditions either, deep snow, avalanche risk and high winds, read here http://ueli-steck.petzlteam.com/index.php/post/2009/07/15/Gasherbrum-II-the-story-from-Ueli
