The Nepali Sherpas gathered 10m below the summit and made the top together. One of them climbed with no additional oxygen. The team we’re fixing ropes to the summit for the commercial expeditions that are making winter attempts on the mountain. K2 was the last 8000 metre summit that hadn’t been climbed in the winter.

It was about 40 minutes of stretches etc aimed at beginners/intermediates. There wasn’t really anything ‘new’ but it was a good refresher. Happy to pass on the link if anyone’s interested. They’re running an intermediate/advanced session which I might pop along to too next Monday evening.
