This is the sort of thing that gives us mere mortals and armchair adventurers shivers. Amazing reporting from the field guys.

Silvo Karo, Andrej Grmovsek and Marko Lukic from Solvenia are in Tapovan this season to have a go at the Shark’s Fin. Silvo is pretty much the man. East Face of the Torre among other difficult ascents.

Totally keen for their ascent. And wishing them well.
Arrow is high point, dot below lightening bolt is abandoned portaledge (Korean Expedition in July) and peace is for happiness.

As they say: "Third time is a charm or three strikes and you're out." It was going to be one or the other. We were lucky with exceptional weather, a fine team and fun climbing.
We summited on the 2nd of October at 1:40. I am in Delhi, India for the next 48 and will post the topo once I get it drafted.
After 23 years knowing of the route and three attempts over 8 years it is nice to have "clipped the chains".

My congratulations as well.
A great example of how safety and perserverance both eventually pay off.
And make the return home all the sweeter.

"clipped the chains".
So it's a sport route then, I can do it with just a rack of draws?

Congrats to the North Face for supporting corporate climbing and those who choose to participate in it whole-heartedly !
...yawn, another peak paid for by endorsements--wish the Slovaks would have bagged it for you guys to show how it's done on the cheap.
