  1. I have to correct what you write:
    1,- the 3 climbers did not descend from Gasherbrum I, they were on the way up from the south route
    2,- the expedition leader Gerfried Goeschl is NOT Australian, he is AUSTRIAN, Cedric Hahlen is from SWITZERLAND
    3,- Gasherbrum I is 8080 m high
    4,- two polish climbers reached Gasherbrum I last Thursday from the north route.
    Please kindly research well next time!

    Greetings from Vienna / AUSTRIA

    1. Thank you Mrs. Waltraud Torossian for correcting us.

  2. May Allah protect missing people.

    Thanks a lot Mrs. Waltraud Torossian for providing valuable information.

  3. height of G-1 by pamirtimes is also correct, because its different from different sources,
    soon rescue team will reached there by Army helicopter, if helicopter is drooping them base camp it will take one more day to reached camp one, if helicopter is dropping them at C-1 it will be easy to rescue,

  4. The official correct height of Hidden Peak in all the maps around the world is 8068m and not 8080m. Mrs. Waltraud Torossian is requested to please correct her records
