Good news - after the summits of GII (9.6.) and GI (15.6.) Dodo has also the summit of Broad Peak (26.6.).
The 25th Dodo Kopold and Vlado Plulik started from Broad Peak BC. They arrived 300m below the summit in the afternoon, had some rest there and returned to 7200m, where they had left some gear. They slept there the 25th. From there Vlado continued the normal route and probably didnґt summit. Dodo continued up, through a new variation of the route, and reached the top at about 9 pm (the 26th).
He said this was his hardest climb yet in Himalaya. Conditions were really bad. He had to bivouac at 8000 meters on descent, without gear or a tent. He is now in BC. Vlado is not there yet. He is probably with Russians in C1. Dodo saw him last time yesterday around 8pm. They should meet tomorrow.
The weather is currently bad.
