AceRimmer posted:Can't wait for news on the Polish K2 winter attempt, they should have started establishing a route today based on an old Alan Arnette blog post. Well, this turned out to be a royal gently caress up thanks to the biggest dumbass this side of the death zone. The K2 expedition is as of now mounting a rescue operation for another Polish climber with a hardon for winter Nanga Parbat attempts (this was his seventh one). This guy, Tomasz Mackiewicz is a total amateur who got literally addicted to the idea of winter Nanga ascent after getting off heroin some years ago. The last attempt was in 2016 when he had to resign somewhere around 8000m. News soon came that another team were first to climb the mountain that season. Mackiewicz said that he doesn’t believe them and the photos from the top were photoshopped. So now he is somewhere above 7600m with hurricane winds smacking him around, altitude sickness and snow blindness to boot. The K2 expedition pledged to rescue him and his unlucky companion and they are suspending their attempt to fly to them.

Nanga is angry and will likely treat the stranded duo and the rescue operation to 90kph winds and -68C temp in the next 10 hours. So it looks like 6 possible deaths because of 1 idiot with a deathwish.

If we get to the point where people photoshop themselves in climbing gear before venturing to conquer K2 as their first >1000m peak there should be a mental hospital disguised as a K2 permit issuing office. HAPs can be employed as nurses. Anne Frank Funk fucked around with this message at 09:36 on Jul 6, 2019 |
