Himalaya 2014

August 19th 2014 Sebastian Haag and I started once more a ski-expedition to the Himalaya. This time was not only one 8000 high mountain the plan but two of them.
Both summits Shisha Pangma ( 8013 m ) and Cho Oyu (8201 m ) were planned to climb in a time frame of 7 days. Outside of this the distance between the basecamps of the summits should be covered exclusively ‘by fair means’ – with the mountain bike or by foot.
An endeavor in permanent immense hight and without artificial oxygen.
The idea to climb two 8000 m mountains in a row is not as crazy as it might sound. It was done before and it even makes sense. Being already used to the hight the major effort is by far less.
But it never came so far.
September 24th 2014 an avalanche took Sebastian Haag’s and Andrea Zambaldi’s life.
With them a part of me also died.
I go often to the mountains. On many peaks that Basti and I used to climb am standing now alone. This is my way to have him around me, to mourn and to remember in deep gratefulness our times together.
