Safely in Skardu??? by Webteam

August 3, 2010  5:10 pm PKT

Don's Home Team Reports:

Travel Guard informed us that they received confirmation that Don has finally been flown to Skardu.  As you all know, Pakistan is experiencing devasting and destructive flooding. The Karakorum highway, which is the only road out of that region,  is  blocked and so all climbers and trekkers stuck in Skardu must be flown out. 

We hope to hear from Don soon.

CONGRATULATIONS!! by Webteam

July 27, 2010, 7:45pm MST

Don's Home Team Reports:

Don called at 7:45 am (July 28) PKT to announce that he and Alexey along with Czech climbers Radek Jaros and Libor Uher and American climber Marty Schmidt have summited Gasherbrum I.  Don reported that a storm was due to come in shortly, so they would not be long on the summit. He expected the return trip to base camp would be a long, arduous one due to inclement weather, deep, unstable snow, and tired climbers. However, at the moment, they were all elated to have accomplished their summit goal.

Revisit Don's website again to read about the exciting details to this "summit story" when Don returns to base camp.
