Over a very faint phone line due to bad coverage, possibly because of the bad weather in the area, we were informed of the situation of the Aragonese mountaineers.

They have reached the Base Camp after completing what some call the prettiest trekking trail in the world. Behind them are emblematic masses such as Trango Tower, Chogolisa, Masembrum, K2 and Broad Peak, among others.

 30.06.11 (18:00 Skardu-Pakistan) Ya hemos llegado a Skardu y estamos alojados en el mítico K2, pero de expediciones de momento estamos solos.

Yesterday, on Sunday, they were able to finalise all the bureaucratic procedures with the respective Ministries in order to allow them entry to the Karakorum Mountains. The process was quick, the fact that there are few expeditions this year in Pakistan means that those responsible for these procedures have little work to do and therefore speed up any climbing requests.

The team made up by Raúl Martínez, Adrián Ucles and Carlos Pauner arrived without problem today in Islamabad. They are staying in the Blue Area, at the same hotel as in the year 2007. This is an area of the Pakistani capital with a high level of security.
