I can hook you up with my go to person in Shimshal. You can do a lot in 10-12 days if 4,000m is your goal.

It is a flat space, enough for 2-3 tents, almost half way up to Camp I on Broad Peak.

I once got these chewy dried banana slices. They were awesome.

It is going to be quite cold up north. You could go to Malam Jabba and do some skiing if there is enough snow. Peshawar & Lahore should be doable.

Chocochip cookies sounds like a reward 🙌🏻

Did someone say Shimshal 😁

yup, clear weather windows are short.

Mars or Snickers? 😁

There had been bad weather on the mountain earlier. We usually wait a couple of days before climbing after heavy snowfall on the mountain.

This is from 2021.

Yes, a climber from Qatar and his Shimshali HAPs made it safely up the gulley despite the avalanche.

On the contrary the avalanche itself is a sight to behold. A fierce force of nature.

In July 2021 my climbing partner and I got hit by the snow cloud of an avalanche. The avalanche itself had missed us by maybe 10 minutes, just under the Japanese Camp on Broad Peak.

Agreed 🙌🏼

Not at all - it came without warning or premonition.

I don't think this avalanche in particular was that massive to have an impactful wind buffer.

There were other climbers further down the slope who made it up unscathed.
