Polish Winter Nanga Parbat Expedition
Known as the "Killer Mountain", Nanga Parbat was one of the deadliest of the eight-thousanders for climbers in the first half of the twentieth century; since that time it has been less so, though still an extremely serious climb. It is also an immense, dramatic peak that rises far above its surrounding terrain.
The core of Nanga Parbat is a long ridge trending southwest-northeast. The ridge is an enormous bulk of ice and rock. It has three faces, Diamir face, Rakhiot and Rupal.
In 1970 the brothers Günther and Reinhold Messner reached the summit via a direct route on the huge, difficult Rupal Face; this was the third ascent of the mountain.
Nanga Parbat has never been climbed in winter.
17 février 1980 : première ascension hivernale d'un sommet de plus de 8 000 mètres par une expédition polonaise composée de Leszek Cichy et Krzysztof Wielicki.
1986 - Première ascension hivernale, le 11 janvier, par Krzysztof Wielicki et Jerzy Kukuczka lors d'une expédition polonaise.
