Eduard in Pakistan/Kashmir

My friend Eduard, the most hard-boiled mountaineer I personally know, a great alpine climber and skier, all-round badass and incredible human, went to Kashmir/Karakoram for yet another climbing trip.
He is currently in basecamp and is getting acclimatized on Broad Peak (8051m) before heading on to hit a slightly bigger objective on K2 (8611m) during the next weeks.

Wish him well and follow his adventure on

Pictures from Chamonix May 2016, one of our first common outings and still in good memory:

Setting off from the Aig. du Plan ridge with 1000m of air to both sides.

Smooth turns on sunny spring snow

“Walking” simultaniously

Time to enjoy the view
