So says the website when this Edurne passed a few hours of starting a great challenge. Becoming the first woman to crown the 14 mountains that exceed 8000 meters. Just posing scary.
The expedition will leave this coming Thursday in order to acclimatize and in March / April promotion to try the thirteenth Shishapangma of 8027 meters. Once passed by the fourteenth would go to would be 8091 meters on Annapurna in the months of April / May. The two on the north face. That means more than three months in the Himalayas.
You just have to imagine the importance of meteorology to fulfill his dream. From here I send you all the luck and strength of the world. It so happens that on the issue of Edurne travels a gijon, Nacho Orbiz, which will be a major pillar of support to get it.
Suerte!
I will keep you informed as they progress. Or if you want on your web http://www.edurnepasaban.com/
Some data extracted from the wikipedia about Edurne, scares just read it.
On May 23, 2001 Edurne Pasabán reaches the top of its first eight-thousand, Everest (8,848 m.), with the aid of artificial oxygen, via the South Col, along with Silvio Mondinelli, Mario Merelli, Ivan Vallejo and Dawa II Sherpa.
In October 2001, tried a second time to climb Dhaulagiri (8.167m) with the climbers Carlos Soria, Pepe Garces, Silvio Mondinelli and Mario Merelli, again without success. Attempting the north side. The worst comes when, returning from a summit attempt, Garces died after slipping and falling over the edge.
Then in the same month led a team that tried to rescue the bodies of five and Navarrese Basque mountaineers who had just died in the Pumori (in the Himalayas), a task that they had to quit because of the great danger of landslides.
On May 16, 2002 added his second eight-thousand, Makalu (8465 m.), to make top along with Silvio Mondinelli, Mario Merelli and Carlos Pauner. Ascent by the “Route of the French.” During the trekking to base camp had been intercepted by a group of Maoist guerrillas, they demanded payment of a sum of money.
Annapurna tries unsuccessfully for the south wall that season, along with Mondinelli, Merelli, Pauner, Abele Blanc and Kristian Kuntner.
Since then programmed with Oiarzabal the following year climb K-2 (8,611 meters), which recorded a documentary for the program “The Edge of the impossible”. This seventh and twenty-eight thousand Alava first got it together with Juan Vallejo and Mikel Zabalza on 26 July 2004 called the Abruzzi Spur. Edurne decline suffered in the freezing of two phalanges of both fingers and toes seconds Juanito Oiarzabal of the ten toes of his feet, which had to be amputees in both cases weeks later on the Mutual of Accidents of Zaragoza (MAZ) clinic members to freeze, where they were detained for fifteen days.
Today is one of five women who climbed K2, together with Italian Nives Meroi, Yuka Komatsu of Japan, South Korea’s Oh, Eun-Sun and Norwegian Cecilie Skog, who lives to tell the tale, as the vast Most women who reached the summit died while descending or climbing other mountains beyond, as the excellent Polish climber Wanda Rutkiewicz.
He started back toward the Himalayas and the July 20, 2005 climbed Nanga Parbat (8,125 m), accompanied by Josu Bereziartu, Marianne Chapuisat, Ester Sabadell and Ivan Vallejo. The original idea of the expedition was to try after Broad Peak, but the harshness of the expedition to Nanga and the announcement of bad weather made them give up their second goal. On his return he fell into a depression for a year and a half almost make him desist from his attempt to become the first woman to ascend to the 14 eight thousand.
After recovery, the July 12, 2007 accumulated eight thousand ninth to complete the ascent of Broad Peak (8,047 m.), but failed in their bid to reach the Shisha Pangma (8,046 m.).
On 1 May 2008 reached the summit of Dhaulagiri (8,167 m.) and on 5 October 2008 reached the summit of Manaslu (8.156 m.), with Alex Txikon, Asier Izaguirre, Mikel Zabalza, Ester Sabadell (which experienced freezes in several fingers), Ferrán Latorre, Juanjo Garra and the Sherpas Muktu, common in expeditions passed since 1998, and Pemba. After completing the climb was presented with the opportunity to ascend Shisha Pangma (8,046 m, China), but failed, again due to bad weather, which could have meant his twelfth eight thousand. This time Edurne Pasaban and his team wanted to climb the south face (the British route), after two failures of previous years by the North Face.
In late March 2009 Edurne Pasabán left for Nepal along with his companions on an expedition with the goal to climb Kangchenjunga, the first of the three “eight thousand” which was missing. He was accompanied on the ascent Juanito Oiarzabal, Ferrán Latorre, Alex Txikon, Asier Izaguirre, Jorge Egocheaga, Zangmu Sherpa and Pasang Sherpa. Rose Pasabán affected by tracheobronchitis, thereby weakening its capabilities to the point of exhaustion on the second day of the descent. [6] Latorre was the first to summit at 14:45 on May 18, Oiarzabal, Pasabán, Izaguirre and did spend two hours later, at a time deemed too late to ensure a smooth descent. Txikon had turned over the check that night would make the descent, [7] and Egocheaga had to descend to base camp yesterday when he suffered bronchitis, when it was already in the field-4 (to 7700 meters high). Edurne Pasabán thus became the fourth woman to reach the summit, after the English Ginette Harrison (1998), Austrian Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner (2006) and South Korea Oh Eun-Sun (7 May 2009), which added with this his tenth “eight thousand”, but some are under discussion. [8] He failed the famous Polish climber Wanda Rutkiewicz, who disappeared in 1992 while attempting the ascent via the southwest face of this dangerous mountain, which have not returned 40 mountaineers who attempted his ascent, mostly because of the frequent avalanches. Following the summit stayed overnight in the Camp-4, after more than 24 hours of effort. The next day, when the decline continued, Edurne Pasabán, exhausted, he felt his strength left and acknowledges that came to think of surrender. [9] succeeded in completing the descent through the efforts of his colleagues and the oxygen provided by Oriol Riba [10] [11] and which were recovered successfully. [12] member of another expedition. In the fall she and Alex Txikon suffered frostbite, which forced his hospitalization at the clinic MAZ
Pasabán In autumn 2009, accompanied by Ferrán Latorre, Alex Txikon, Asier Izaguirre, Zangmu Sherpa and Pasang Sherpa, [13] tried for the fourth time the ascent of Shisha Pangma (8,046 m), without success, due to unfavorable weather conditions . [14] The decision to abandon the attempt coincided with the death of Roberto Piantoni member of an Italian expedition that had shared the base camp. The members of the expedition Pasabán joined fellow Piantoni in the work of recovering his body. [15]
