More drama on ‘Killer Mountain’

Tomek wants to successfully end several years of trying to achieve his goal and to free his mind from the vision of the summit of Nanga Parbat and prove, both to himself and the world, that it is worth persevering in the pursuit of a goal. This goal is real and imminent. Wanda Rutkiewicz said “the value of the climb is determined not only by whether your reach the top, but how you climbed,” and Tomek wants to achieve his goal with these words in mind. Climbing to the top of Nanga is not about conquering or taming the mountain. It is about being face to face with a perfect beauty and becoming a force 1,000 times more powerful than yourself.

very awesome that himalayn climbers abandon their goals to help in a rescue..

The decision of Denis (of Russian nationality but who recently also has Polish nationality) is generating a great public debate in Poland. The Polish expedition is fully sponsored by the Polish government. The feelings move between the criticism of Denis' decision to respect the decisions of the expedition leader, to those who value this decision (Urubko's) that is part of the history of mountaineering (remember Hermann Buhl or Reinhold Messner in the Nanga Parbat, both against the orders of the expedition leader, which was the same: Karl Herrligkoffer ). But the priority at this time, as it is evident in the own statement of Wielicki, the head of the expedition, is to support Wielicki (I think the writer got it wrong and that it is Urubko getting the support) as much as possible, for which a second team has been sent to the C3 and sherpas with oxygen bottles, to attend a possible emergency, to the base camp advancing.
