Markus Kronthaler’s Body Going Home–Highest Mountain Recovery EVER!!
Markus Kronthaler’s body has been recovered. This daring Expedition on Broad Peak was successfully initiated by Markus’ brother Georg.
Markus, who was climbing Broad Peak (8, 074 meters) last year, succumbed to exhaustion and dehydration after successfully making his summit bid. His body was found near the summit by a team of climbers put together by his brother. Georg, as well as the rest of the Welt de Berg Team members, will successfully go down in history after making the world’s highest altitude body recovery.
Georg Krothaler is hoping that his success at retrieving his brother’s body will help encourage other climbers that these recovery expeditions can succeed.
I don’t just want to bring my brother down—I want to change the ethical principles in high altitude climbing. We can’t only focus on our sport goals and thus walk literally over corpses—someone who had an accident doesn’t deserve to be left there like garbage. Read more

Massive Summit Push For Broad Peak is a Success!!
Trying to outrun an approaching storm system on Broad Peak, many climbers combined their efforts yesterday for one final push–landing them on the summit!
The Broad Peak summit was reached at 12:30 pm local time by the “Al Filo” Team and members are now trying to race down the mountain in a speed descent to try to reach Camp 3 before nightfall.
The successful summiters on Broad Peak include:
- Silvio “Gnaro” Mondinelli
- Marco Confortola
- Ivan Vallejo
- Gerlinde Kaltenbruner
- Ralf Dujmovits
- Fabio Iacchini
- Edurne Pasaban
- as well as others that are awaiting verification.
Over 70 people took off yesterday for this massive summit push, making there way through very cold tempertures and rising winds.
Silvio Mondinelli Bags 14th 8,000 Meter Peak
With Silvio’s successful summit of Broad Peak, he now becomes the 13th person in the world to land on top of the 14 tallest peaks. He also becomes the sixth person to do so without the use of supplemental O2 along his journey. Two other Italians, Reinhold Messner and Sergio Martini have also mastered the 14 8,000 meter peaks.
Two More Closing In
Ivan Vallejos and Ralf Dumojvits have both been to Broad Peak before, but each of them stand a pretty good chance of accomplishing their respective goals of reaching the tops of all 14 8,000 meter peaks as well. Ivan Vallejos now only needs Dhauligiri to complete his quest and Dumojvits is currently standing at 10 peaks.
Women Closing in as Well
Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner, the leading lady on the quest for 14 8,000 meter peaks has made Broad Peak her tenth. Edurne Pasaban is sitting one below with 9 at this momment.
Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner, the crafty Austrian, has accomplished her 10 successful summits without any supplementary O2. She is married to the previously mentioned Ralf Dujmovits and between them now own 22 8,000 meter summits.
A Little Broad Peak History
Broad Peak stands at 26, 400 feet and measures up as the 12th highest peak in the world and the fourth highest in Pakistan. It was originally labeled K3, and sits along the Pakistan-China Border. It’s first ascent came on June 9, 1957 by Fritz Wintersteller, Marcus Schmuck, Kurt Diemburger, and Hermann Buhl, all members of an Austrian Expedition put together by Marcus Schmuck.
Hermann Buhl and Kurt Diemburger were subsequently killed 18 days later while trying to ascend a nearby peak, Chogolisa on June 27, 1957.

Injury on Broad Peak, Death on Gasherbrum II
Climber Dies on Gasherbrum II
ExplorersWeb’s Pakistani correspondent Karrar Haidri has confirmed the death of a climber that perished a couple of days ago on Gasherbrum II.
The climber was 41 year old Austrian Ulrike Gschwandtner. She died at Basecamp on Gasherbrum II due to high-altitude sickness.
In related news:
Kenneth Hill, an American climbing with the Austrian International Broad Peak Expedition has been air-evacuated off of Broad Peak after suffering a leg injury. He was taken to a hospital in Skardu where he is now doing well and being treated by a group of Army doctors.
Ken Hill was injured on Broad Peak while trying to ascend from Camp 1 to Camp 2. The circumstances surrounding his injury are not fully known, but this does put an early end to his Broad Peak attempt.
Weather Reports
Teams are finding the weather to be a bit rough around Broad Peak, Gasherbrum’s I & II, K2, and Nanga Parbat–which could be the underlying circumstances as to why some of these incidents are occuring.
A new weather alert has been issued in the region suggesting high winds and white-out conditions over much of the weekend. Many teams are trying to go higher before the bad weather sits in on Saturday. After Sunday though, it could be full speed ahead as a large 4 day break in the weather system is coming.
It will be interesting to see how all the expeditions in the Himalaya region handles the bad weather forecasts as many are already sitting quite high on K2 as well as Broad Peak and Gasherbrum’s I & II.

Dhaulagiri Claims Life of Italian Climber Sergio Dalla Longa
ExplorersWeb is reporting the tragic news today that Italian Climber Sergio Dalla Longa has perished on Dhaulagiri.
The accident occured Sunday, April 29, 2007, after Sergio had climbed within meters of the famed Dhaulagiri summit. He slipped on the icy surface and subsequently hit his head in the fall resulting in his death.
Sergio Dalla Longa was climbing with a team led by Mario Merelli.
Details of the accident are finally beginning to trickle through the Italian Press.
Merelli’s Italian team had split in to two groups and was opting for a summit bid Sunday. Dalla Longa was a member of the first group along with Stephano Magri.
A few meters from the Dhaulagiri Summit, Sergio Dalla Longa’s crampon had slipped and in the ensuing fall, he hit his head and neck killing him instantly.
Sergio Dalla Longa’s brother, Marco, also perished while climbing Nanda Devi in 2005.
Sergio’s tragic death, brings the number to 4 of climber’s whose deaths have been reported in the last 24 hours. You may read about the other three, in the two previous posts found under this one.
As always with a death in the climbing community, The Adventurist website has switched from it’s normal blue color, to black in a sign of mourning and respect to our fallen brothers and sisters, for the next three days.
Our hearts and prayers go out to Sergio Dalla Longa’s family, friends and associates on this tragic event, as well as to the other three climbers lost in the past 24 hours.

Tragedy x 3: Alpine Climbing Greats Andi Orgler and Kasper Ochsner Dead as Well…
Today has been a day of tragedy in the climbing World. As mentioned in a previous post (found just below this one) Lara Kellogg has reportedly died on Mt. Wake and now more tragedy coming in from the world of Alpine Climbing as being reported from The Alpinist.
Andi Orgler, from Austria, has apparently been killed in a hang-gliding accident in a competition in Australia after his equipment Malfunctioned.
Andi Orgler was famous in the world of Alpine Climbing for putting up many first ascents, as well as many first ski descents. His popularity grew throughout the climbing world during the 1980’s and 90’s as he converged on an amazing series of ascents in The Ruth Gorge in Alaska with differing partners. For his amazing climbs in The Ruth Gorge, Orgler was awarded the Piolet de’Or in 1995.
It is also being noted that another famed Alpinist, Kasper Ochsner has dissappeared while attempting a solo, winter climb of the Engelhorner. Ochsner was a Swiss Mountain Guide, Ski Instructor, as well as part owner of a well known Swiss climbing shop.
Oschner was well known in Switzerland as a pioneer in Alpine Rock Climbing, having put up many of the toughest routes in Switzerland. Oschner also put up a new route on The Eiger as well.
One Day, Three Tragic Deaths. Kellogg, Orgler, and Ochsner will be dearly missed, but fondly remembered for their individual contributions to the world of mountain climbing.
As always with a death in the climbing community, The Adventurist will go to “black” mode as a symbol of mourning and respect for our fallen brothers and sister.
Our thoughts and Prayers are with the climbers’ family and friends as they try to cope with today’ tragedies. They will be missed dearly.

Sir Edmund Hillary: Your Thoughts, Your Prayers
It is being widely reported today that Sir Edmund Hillary has been injured in a fall. Sir Hillary was the first person, along with his climbing sherpa Tenzing Norgay, to summit Mt. Everest. It has been noted that Hillary is not suffering “Life-Threatening” injuries and that his progress is going well.
Hillary is 87 years old and has recently taken up walking with a cane. It is also being reported that Sir Edmund Hillary has been suffering from High Altitude Sickness for a number of years now.
In due respect for what Sir Edmund Hillary has come to mean and represent in the climbing community, I thought that it would be a good time for all of my loyal readers here at The Adventurist to wish Sir Edmund Hillary the best. Today we keep you in all of our thoughts and prayers!
You, the reader, may post your thoughts, prayers, and good wishes upon Sir Edmund Hillary here, as we all come together to wish him a fast recovery

The Laneo Phenom
Editor’s Note: I came across Laneo through another site–actually the reason I “clicked” was because of the very unique look of their ads…and since I run an “Adventure” website, well it was natural for me to check out what it was about. Folks, this is a great company trying to do something for this World. There is no money involved–I do not support advertising on this site–but, to me, this is not advertising as they are not selling a product. This is one way you can help change the world without spending a dime! Something that I think all of us have an issue with is making sure that this planet is around for quite a few more generations, and by joining this site and placing an “ad”, you too can be a part of making a difference. Now about the company. Read more

DailyLit: Adventure Books by Email–A New Concept?
One of my good blogging friends–ISUALum–recently made a post about a website that he had ran across called DailyLit.
This site is a good idea for all those casual readers out there that find it impossibly hard to either 1) find the time to read a full length book or, 2) can’t seem to tear yourself away from the computer for a given length of time.
DailyLit now let’s you read that book you have had on the backburner for some time now–through email–and the best part about it is that it is completely free.
After reading ISUALum’s post on his site “Me, Myself, and Who?” I decided to check it out for myself.
What DailyLit does is it breaks down a book–I will go on the one I have taken up reading–Let’s say “Moby Dick”–DailyLit breaks this book down to 242 emails and delivers one a day into your email box at a specified time that you designate.
There are a ton of catagories to choose from, everything from my personal favorite “Adventure” to “Poetry” and “Classics”..there is something there for everyone.
I did recieve the first email of “Moby Dick” today and enjoyed it–not to long..not to short–could be read in 5-10 minutes time, and it made me actually feel like I was getting something done. I will be looking forward to that next installment–
If you decide to check this site out, leave a comment here about your thoughts. I would also be interested in if you signed up and what book you are reading.
As for my good friend Alex, or rather “ISUALum“–he started reading “The Adventurist” and commenting, quite possibly the day I came online 5 months ago–he has a running joke with me about wanting to stay “original” by putting the link up to this site as “The Hendricks Report”–my first concept which eventually lead me to “The Adventurist”–He is a great guy, a training tri-athlete–and a very big family man. I hope you will all stop by his place and enjoy his witty, yet down to earth posts. Thanks Alex.
