A side effect of a busier season was that also more things happened. We know that the climbing we do is not without risk and therefore we are constantly trying to be risk-aware and learn from what we see around us from the other climbing teams. Therefore I want to share some of these stories from this season.

When we climbed Khan Tengri in 2017, we were very positive about our experience with pre-acclimatization at home with the Hypoxic tents from https://altitudedream.com (see blog 2017). This enabled us to climb Khan Tengri in one go, without having to pass the icefall multiple times - the section with the most objective dangers of the route. How was our experience with the hypoxic tents this year?

In the months July and July some a strange constant rumbling noise is coming from my apartment during the nights. Also my electricity bill a quite a bit higher. One could think I’m running an illegal drug lab and growing marijuana. No, not the case, I’m pre-acclimatizing at home in preparation for our expedition to Pik Korzhenevskaya and Pik Communisma, both mountains above 7.000m.
