Ciao! We are back, on line. After 1 week without electricity due a technical problem with our generator (it is completely broken after a 4 days “swimming” due heavy rain in BC) we finally get my second generator here in base camp. So starting from today we are again able to be in touch with the world.

The past week, after our Batokshi peak 6050 m alpine style climb in 9 hours 30 minutes) had been spent from us climbing on the nice rock here around, bouldering and exercising on the slake line. We decided to stay here in BC because we gave our eventual support to the rescue team on Nanga Parbat, so we decided to be always ready here in case we have to be picked up from the helicopter rescue and fly to Nanga Parbat. Thanks God the 2 strong climbers on Nanga managed themselves all the situation and they came safe back till 5700 meters. They did a very good job. Bravi!
From our side we also decided our goal instead Batura II (assaulted by a huge korean tem with High altitude Porters).
The mountain we decided to climb (we requested official climbing permit to Ministry of Tourism of Pakistan) is a very nice peak. The name of “our” peak is Beka Brakai Chhok and is nearly a 7000. Attempted already 3 times it remain unclimbed and is just in front of our base camp. I and Hervè will attempt it in alpine style and in a fast approach. We are only waiting for the permit and the good weather conditions that should start next Tuesday. E feel good and we are preparing our climb continuing to make exercise and bouldering here on the green base camp at 4107 m. We know that Beka Brakai Chhok (6940 m) will be not an easy climb…
