I feel sad for u guys but that’s how the mountains are . ……. Very unpredictable n very shy most f the time…. We were attempting cho oyu in 2009 may n she was such a beauty to climb…. But the weather gods had other plans n they never opened up n of fact it worsened n we couldn’t summit it. But the team leader took the right decision to leave her with some good memories n decided we wil come again some day to summit her….. Wisest decision u have taken…. These r tough decisions but those r de decisions wic make or break…. All de best for ur future endeavours….. Ski safe n enjoy…..

Very nice photos, I am surprised that the great photo of K2, Broad Peak and G4 was mis labled as G1.

In that photo with the 3 mountains Gasherbrum 1 is not even in the photo. What you have labeled as G1 is actually Gasherbrum 4 with the peak of G3 behind and to the right. G2 is partially in view but cut off. Gasherbrum 1 would but further to the right and is cut off in the photo.

Hi Paul,

I am searching some footage of Laila Peak, so I found your videos on vimeo.
Are you still have the footage of your Pakistan trip?

Please give me a quick answer.

The mountains to see from the Laila Col are K2, Broad Peak, Gasherbrum IV, Gasherbrum III, Gasherbrum II, but not Gasherbrum I.
Great shots of a great adventure!
Best regards

Thanks Richard. Yeah, I saw their efforts. Good job. Have to say if I was going to ski that face, I would be a lot more comfortable skiing it in the winter with better stability. Way too hot when we were there and the avalanche is evidence of that!

Nice article, worth every penny of the 10 minutes. Great effort ... and wow! That avalanche! Now Laila's been climbed in winter by José Fernandez and Alex Txikon. Seems like they had it plenty tough.
