http://altitudepakistan.blogspot.com/2016/02/winter-2016-first-winter-ascent-of.html -- Raheel Adnan -- Pakistan -- First winter ascent on Nanga Parbat

Leher eginda, Alex Txikon, Ali Sadpara, Simone Moro eta Tamara Lunger4Kn (7.200m) dira dagoeneko. Kontaktu laburra eta eskasa izan dugu Txikonekin. "Pozik eta harro" sentitzen dira egindakoarekin, jakina, baina gaurkoa "oso oso gogorra eta luzea" izan dela aitortu digu lemoaztarrak; tontor-trapezioa "uste baino tenteagoa" dela eta "espero baino izotz gehiago" aurkitu dutela azken kanalean. Bestalde, muturreko neke hutsak eta ondoezak (goraka aritu da lehen orduan) eraman dute Lunger tontorretik ez oso urrun amore ematera. Bihar goizeko 10:00etan ekingo diote BKranzko bideari.
Extremely tired, Alex Txikon, Ali Sadpara, Simone Moro and Tamara Lunger have already reached C4 (7.200m). Feel obviously happy and satisfyed, but admit that today's work was "very hard and long"; that the summit-trapeze is "steeper than expected" and terrain was "really icy" on the last couloir. On the other hand, it was just extreme fatigue and early-morning-pukes what made Lunger desist not very far away from summit. Tomorrow will begin to descend at 10:00am.
Derrengados, Alex Txikon, Ali Sadpara, Simone Moro y Tamara Lungerhan llegado ya al C4 (7.200m). Apenas una breve y entrecortada llamada por parte de Txikon para contarnos que se sienten obviamente felices y satisfechos, pero que la jornada ha sido "extremadamente dura y larga"; que el trapecio cimero es "bastante más pino" de lo que pensaba y que han encontrado el terreno también "más helado" de lo que esperaban. Por otro lado, ha sido simplemente el cansancio extremo y el malestar físico (vomitonas a primera hora) lo que ha hecho desistir a Lunger no muy lejos de la cumbre. Mañana emprenderán el regreso a CB a partir de las 10:00 de la mañana.

Pete Fasoldt and Eli Simon climbed ten new pitches (6c A0) into Su Patagonia. The climbing is a mix of great crack climbing on solid rock and scary wet climbing tip-toeing around large loose blocks. Walking out Eli got attacked by a mama cow and had to dive for cover to avoid getting crushed
