One of the mountain climber David Roberts expresses his experience.

"The depleted climber checked the frozen incline above him as obscurity immersed the mountain. "Lino! Achille! Where are you?" he cried. The main answer was quietness. It was July 30, 1954. Toward the finish of a long distance race day of burden pulling, Walter Bonatti and his abrasive friend, the Hunza watchman Amir Mahdi, had arrived at a height of 26,575 feet on Pakistan's K2, the world's second most noteworthy mountain."

Nanga Parbat, the "stripped mountain," is one of the most desired prizes for Polish winter mountain climbers. Four past Polish groups have endeavored it, and all have fizzled.

Isolated from the remainder of the Karakoram by the Indus River, Nanga Parbat is a solitary pyramid at the western finish of the Himalaya. It was the initial 8,000-meter top at any point endeavored, in 1895 by Englishman A. F. Revelry, and, as though to caution the world, the mountain immediately killed Mummery and his two high-elevation watchmen. 28 additional individuals would pass on four ignominious undertakings before Austrian Hermann Buhl arrived at the highest point in 1953.

Winter mountaineering on the most noteworthy mountains on the planet is and consistently will be just directed by a free decision, definitely more badly arranged than one may might suspect."

Add to this the way that a 55km/h wind is a more than great adversary. To find out about what this feels like, envision being on a bike at that speed... what is missing however from this correlation is the elevation and the freezing cold."
