A tough and satisfying journey with a solid climbing partner. On the second day of approaching, starting from the snowiest Niponino one can during the summer months, we broke trail for hours, through knee deep snow, over the Standhardt col and established a camp below the dreamy Cerro Torre at 6pm in the evening. That was about 11 hours of hard work right there!
At 1:30am we were already waking up for the climb. Where the snowy soloable ramp used to be, now was a huge snow crown which required roped climbing to get to and over. Where a few years ago we soloed more steep snow, were threeish pitches of cool mixed climbing which we did by headlamp. More elevation gain took us up to Col De Esperanza, where we grabbed a bite and drank our electrolyte mix. We started simul climbing over the bergshrund and after about 650 feet of simul climbing on hard brittle ice we begun to pitch it out, as the follower was getting showered by ice. After four pitches, we did two tough pitches of rime covered ice and reached the top of Elmo, after which a 60 meter exposed ice ridge traverse lead us to an approach pitch below the mixed pitches and the headwall. We climbed the mixed section in 3 long pitches and tackled the two difficult pitches of steep ice on the headwall proper. Topping it out during beautiful evening colors, we noticed ominous clouds in the distance and rushed on. An hour of tunnel digging hell took us to a spot where we were getting beat by the winds. Another pitch took us to a protected ledge where we waited out the night, hoping for less wind in the morning. Lots of crunches, sit ups, leg raises etc got us through the night and after a very cool tunnel pitch we were just below the summit pinnacle with a short but exposed ridge leading to it. Both of us tried to put on the goggles and crawl to it, but the winds were so hard that rime pellets prevented us from seeing or breathing, while trying to crawl. It was way too crazy to tag the summit, so we made the hard but only normal decision one without suicide tendencies can make. What a ride and what a beautiful climb. On the way down, we took the long way around the Marconi glacier, which was a journey in its own. From hours of monotonous glacier walking while getting blasted by the winds, to waist deep river crossing and climbs over big ice formations, somehow we made it out after all. Appreciating all those little things the city comforts offer and appreciating all the people we have in the family and the friend circle. Journey with a happy end.
People (me including) somewhat underestimate this route, but it is huge, sustained, committing and tough overall. Especially in conditions it is in now - no easy snice around.

Hiked the Jo Pond Trail. Reached snow at 2750'. Had to retreat shortly afterwards. We were not prepared for the strong cold wind and snow. We needed microspikes and snowshoes to continue. Chris, don't know how you did it in your Tevas.

Playing the waiting game here in town a few more days. Not festering too much but maybe a little. Going back and forth on weather and route conditions. A classic Chalten experience. Practicing the dark arts of predicting the future. Trying to make the right decision ahead of time. Safety and success depends on good judgement. Tricky tricky.

Vitaliy M. is with Nikita Balabanov and 3 others.
Sorry for not replying to messages and emails, last 10 days at summercamp 2019 were fairly busy. Had an attempt at cerro torre, brutal storm beat down there, long day (16 hours?) to hike out and following day a hike back in to paso Superior, which gains something like over 5,000 feet. The best weather of the season was predicted so it was no time to rest. Although my original partner/friend had frostbite on Cerro Torre and needs to recover, I was able to hook up with two other parties and climbed the Red Pillar of Mermoz which to my surprise I was able to lead/follow clean, including the lead of the hardest crux pitch (7a+) which was at the time running with water. Even though we did all 3 of the hardest pitches and supposedly all the best ones, we had to quit after 11 of 15 pitches because rest were running with water. It was a good thing as finishing would take much longer and I have been to the top of Mermoz in the past anyways. I was back to camp at 21:30pm and Ted, my partner for the following day's attempt at Fitz Roy, wanted to wake up in about 5 hours, at 02:30, so to his surprise after 3 harsh days, I was still all in and he was nice enough to help me melt water. Even though we have not climbed together in the past, Ted Hesser and I started up Fitz Roy's California route as planned.
Earlier in the year I watched the documentary about its first ascent and the film raised my interest in trying that particular climb. To our luck, the route was in great conditions. Good ice and dry rock. Because both of us love photography, we planned to sleep on the SW flank of Fitz Roy around the top of the route to get some cool photos of Cerro Torre at sunrise. The dream came true, it was a beautiful sunrise, due to which we did not start climbing till like 10am, taking in the beauty and a nice breakfast. When we did get back to climbing, we realized the wind picked up, which brought us to reality of being on a huge mountain and still needing to find our way to the top and deal with a dangerous descent. Fortunately, it all came together and we got down in time to witness another beautiful sunset and sunrise sleeping at La Brecha. Do have to mention a falling rock size of a mini bus scared the living shit out of me as we absailed down the peak. Fortunately the walls are so steep that it was falling away from us, although during the split second of the event all you really can think of is which one of the many shells gonna blow your head off. Because I have been going hard every day for the last week, these next several days will be for hibernation. Time to rest and digest. I left to the mountains 10 days ago with Chris Koppl at 172 lbs, yesterday after hiking out, I was 158lbs. How about this mountain climbing diet eh?
Another interesting thing about the day we climbed Fitz Roy...that same day another two Ukrainean guys and a Russian lady topped out via the same route. What the hell is the probability of three Ukraineans on Fitz Roy in the same day?! lol They were also nice enough to hook us up with some food so that we could bivy in La Brecha and enjoy the beautiful views at sunrise, instead of rapelling below other people at night and hiking to camp, which was very nice of them.

K2: Alex Txikon and his team equip up to field 2, 6.700m
✔ INCREDIBLE! ✔🔻
✔ INCREDIBLE! ✔🔻
We have equipped up to Camp 2 at 6700 meters in just 2 days. It is a real success and we are very happy. I am very proud of the whole team, we have equipped a new route line. After equipping with 1,100 meters of rope until Camp 1, we have taken another 1,200 meters of rope with us. The weather has been quite good although the strong wind has not helped much. However, we have worked well and we still don't believe what we have achieved.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Waldelmar Kowalewski, who was hit by a block of ice or a stone in his left collarbone. He went down at a slow pace and the partners at the Base Camp went to help him. He is fine, but he will return home tomorrow to recover.
Apart from that, the colleagues who have rested for the last few days in the Base Camp will take over from Nuri, Wallung, Cheppal, Gelsen, Pasang and me, as we have been working very hard at high altitude.

As we got up at 11 pm last night, Jan 27, the view of the stars from the High Camp on Chimborazo was breathtaking.
The Milky Way looked like a long narrow cloud and the billions and billions of stars made even the best known constellations like the Southern Cross, Orion, Big Dipper almost invisible.
We left at midnight for our summit push full of energy and optimism. I felt great, yes great, at 17,500 feet. The benefit of living and climbing in Ecuador the past ten days.
We made good time as we began following a nondescript path under an unstable rock wall for about an hour. We were swift and deliberate with our motion. Soon we left the wall for the flanks of this extinct volcano. Honestly, Chimbo is more of a mountain than a volcano like Cotopaxi with its perfect cone shape.
This volcano thinks it’s a massif with five summits and a base that takes up several square miles.
Anyway, the wee hours of the morning passed as we navigated the route to the light of the stars. An impressive glow soon emerged on the summit as a half moon said hello.
The climb was challenging, more so than Cotopaxi. The snow was hard and icy at times and the angles were relentless, a constant 35 to 55 degrees that became more aggressive as we closed in on 20,000 feet.
Then it happened.
With seemingly no warning, the stars disappeared, our calm morning became a play named Gale and snow began to fall. All that was missing was Bing Crosby.
Our group of eight held an impromptu conference at 20,433 feet on Pico Veintimilla, one of the sub peaks of this “volcano”. We were a quarter of a mile away, 131 vertical feet, from the invisible main peak of Chimborazo standing at 20,564 feet.
So close yet ... Hell we couldn’t see anything!!!😜😩
So with the objective danger of the rock wall, which was known to hurl soccer and microwave oven sized boulders on top of really nice people aka climbers as the sun warmed the walls, it was determined an orderly retreat was a honorable decision to get back to High Camp ASAP. Oh, and snow was blowing up our noses.
So did I get the highest point on the planet as measured from the center of the earth? Did I poke my head into the atmosphere higher than when I was on Everest? And most importantly, did I win my battle with that know-it-all 6th Grader who challenged me with “my dad says Everest is not the highest mountain...”
Well, actually the answer to all those questions, while fun, is not all that important. What is, is that I found a new country I really like with some wonderful people, I figured out I can still climb to 20,000 feet and I confirmed that climbing mountains, even if they are cone heads, feeds my essence and makes me happy.

More information
SUMMARY: On Monday, January 21st, at approximately 2:30 pm, the victims, David Westberg and Jennifer Graham were hiking at the 7,800' level when Westberg slipped off an icy trail and slid approximately 150' down a steep slope. He came to rest against a tree, which prevented him from sliding further. Injured in the fall and unable to climb upslope, Westberg called 911 for help.
Sheriff's Helicopters 40King4 and Air Rescue 307 responded to the area and located Westberg and Graham. Due to the steep, rugged and icy terrain, crews determined a hoist rescue would need to be conducted. 40King4 lowered a San Bernardino County Fire Fighter/Paramedic down to Westberg, who accessed Westberg's injuries and prepared him for the hoist rescue. 40King4 then hoisted Westberg and transported him to awaiting EMS personnel.
Air Rescue 307 lowered a firefighter/paramedic down to Graham, who accessed Graham's injuries and prepared her for the hoist rescue. 40King4 then hoisted Graham and transported her to awaiting EMS personnel. Due to nightfall, the crew of 40King4 had to conduct the last hoist evolution of the mission utilizing night vision goggles.
The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department would like to remind the public about the dangers of hiking in hazardous conditions such as steep, rugged, mountainous terrain covered with snow and ice. Without the proper training and equipment, this type of activity can lead to serious injury or death.

Stella is Back Home—
After two hikers were rescued from the San Gorgonio Mountains on Monday by Sheriff’s Aviation, it was discovered their dog Stella had run off and was left behind.
Off-duty San Bernardino Sheriff’s Department Search and Rescue Teams, off-duty San Bernardino County Fire personnel, mountain community residents, and even one of the off-duty rescuer’s dog, Kronos, all pulled together to find Stella.
After hiking several miles, Stella was located yesterday afternoon. They heard her yelping and barking before they could see her. One of the residents hiked up the mountain about 250ft above the trail to where Stella was at and was able to control slide with her in his arms back down to the trail.
Today, Stella was reunited with her owners Jennifer Graham and David Westberg, and all were as happy as can be. A great ending to a scary ordeal.
This is a great example of the dedication of our volunteer personnel, San Bernardino County Fire personnel, and our residents have for their community. Locating Stella was done completely on their own time aside from their hard work as volunteers and first responders. We are privileged to work alongside such great individuals. Thank you for all you do for our communities.

He came to rest against a tree, which prevented him from sliding further. Injured in the fall and unable to climb upslope, Westberg called 911 for help.
Sheriff's Helicopters 40King4 and Air Rescue 307 responded to the area and located Westberg and Graham. Due to the steep, rugged and icy terrain, crews determined a hoist rescue would need to be conducted. 40King4 lowered a San Bernardino County Fire Fighter/Paramedic down to Westberg, who accessed Westberg's injuries and prepared him for the hoist rescue. 40King4 then hoisted Westberg and transported him to awaiting EMS personnel.
Air Rescue 307 lowered a firefighter/paramedic down to Graham, who accessed Graham's injuries and prepared her for the hoist rescue. 40King4 then hoisted Graham and transported her to awaiting EMS personnel. Due to nightfall, the crew of 40King4 had to conduct the last hoist evolution of the mission utilizing night vision goggles.
The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department would like to remind the public about the dangers of hiking in hazardous conditions such as steep, rugged, mountainous terrain covered with snow and ice. Without the proper training and equipment, this type of activity can lead to serious injury or death.

Stella is Back Home—
After two hikers were rescued from the San Gorgonio Mountains on Monday by Sheriff’s Aviation, it was discovered their dog Stella had run off and was left behind.
Off-duty San Bernardino Sheriff’s Department Search and Rescue Teams, off-duty San Bernardino County Fire personnel, mountain community residents, and even one of the off-duty rescuer’s dog, Kronos, all pulled together to find Stella.
After hiking several miles, Stella was located yesterday afternoon. They heard her yelping and barking before they could see her. One of the residents hiked up the mountain about 250ft above the trail to where Stella was at and was able to control slide with her in his arms back down to the trail.
Today, Stella was reunited with her owners Jennifer Graham and David Westberg, and all were as happy as can be. A great ending to a scary ordeal.
This is a great example of the dedication of our volunteer personnel, San Bernardino County Fire personnel, and our residents have for their community. Locating Stella was done completely on their own time aside from their hard work as volunteers and first responders. We are privileged to work alongside such great individuals. Thank you for all you do for our communities.

The last few days have been very eventful. We acclimatized on the local mountains, visited the local market and went to 15,000 feet on Cayambe and now are are at 11,000 feet preparing to go up tonight for a summit attempt starting midnight.
I haven't seen the volcano but everyone tells me it's behind the cloud so I have to trust them. When we went up yesterday and there was a light rain but strong winds probably 30 mph, so instead of making a day walk up to the glacier we just spent three hours in the hut at 15,000 feet. I know I know 🙂.
I have had a small set of problems mainly G.I. issues. I'm not sure what I ate or drank but something didn't agree with me so I spent about 24 hours doing colonoscopy prep then purging like a supermodel but now I'm feeling fine.

We have a very nice international team that is motivated and excited to be here. The Mountain Madness leadership is stellar.
I continue to be overwhelmed with the beauty of Ecuador, the rolling hills covered with grass, the volcanoes, the mountain hillsides and especially the people of this is a special country.

Leo billion, max bonniot and Pierre Carving arrived at el chaltén last day Tuesday. They had been following the weather and saw a three-day window and thought to try the southeast edge of Cerro Torre. The first day left from chaltén and arrived to the col of patience, where they slept inside a crack. On the second day there was pretty wind, but they also managed to get to the foot of the final wall, where they spent several hours carving a platform for their tent above the ice towers. That night there was a lot of wind and thought I'd have to get down the next day, but as dawn dawned decided In the final wall followed the lama-Ortner variant, and they had quite difficulty because many of the shots and fissures had ice or snow. They reached the summit at 10:30 am of the third day, with winds from up to 80 km / h. They started down immediately, and that same day they returned to the chaltén, completing the seventh ascent of the southeast edge of cerro torre in just three days round and back from the village! The one of them was the first and only ascension of cerro torre in what goes of the season.
