According to reports, K2 base camp is replica Breitling watches completely buried. Which is not exactly what you want to hear if you’re a climber, but sweet, sweet music to the ears of a big-mountain skier.And as luck would have it, it seems that conditions are also favorable on the other side of the Gondogoro-la (la means pass) in the Laila Peak area. If you’ve ever seen a photo of Laila Peak, you’ll know it’s tailor made for big-mountain skiers, which is why Fredrik and J?rgen Aamot went to ski it in 2005. The pair climbed to within 100 meters of the summit before the snow turned to 55-feet blue ice and they turned to drop in. Frippe returned to Chamonix with a huge smile on his face and tales of the perfect mountain.
The day-long drive took us through dry, dusty valleys replica Cartier watches flanked by soaring mountains on all sides. Along the way were lush oases, at the center of which were tiny villages bursting at the seams with smiling children.The new plan is to trek up the Gondogoro glacier to our base camp at Dalsanpa (Dalsanpa means field of flowers), climb and ski Laila, then head over to K2 base camp via Gondogoro-la and Concordia. This plan will allow time for the snow to consolidate on K2 and give us the chance to acclimatize on Laila.
