perfect place, perfect timing, perfect weather, a.k.a. training for our next (secret🤫) High Altitude Mountain Expedition 🏔

retracing our steps, elevation meters gaining and... burned calories 🙂 during our 2023 Austrian Alps highest peak, Grossglockner 🏔summit climb

20/08/2023

once again on the top of Austria's highest mountain, Grossglockner (3798m)🇦🇹, feeling grateful for the kind weather we were once more welcomed with... while sadly noticing the year-by-year upper glacier ever shrinking depth and size...

K2 Base Camp 2023 trek in a nutshell: 11 days, 184 km, 63 hours and a once-in-a-lifetime unforgettable 4564 meters up and down trekking in Pakistan's Karakorum mountains

26/07/2023

while heading upstream on the upper Baltoro Valley, we're constantly challenged on the right side of the treacherous one lane mountain jeep road by giant potentially loose rocks looming above, and the fast running dark water glacial river on the other side...

19/07/2023

and finally, after a full 7 days difficult terrain glacier trekking, our team safely made it to K2 Base Camp... time to celebrate with warm tea, and remember to pay our respect at the nearby Memorial to the victims of K2 climbing attempts...

welcome to one of the most famous places in world mountaineering: Concordia Camp, an impressive gigantic amphitheater surrounded by towering snowcapped summits including 4 of the planet's fourteen 8000 meters peaks: K2, Broad Peak, Gasherbrum 1 & Gasherbrum 2

"bridge gone, big water, my friend..." is exactly the warm welcoming one would expect in its fifth day trekking on the huge Baltoro Glacier... so... boots off, pants up and... brrr... coldest river water so far ever touched... 🥶😂

16/07/2023

on our fourth day of K2 BaseCamp trek, my boots gave up and refused to cooperate... since the nearest shop was 5 days, 2 cars and one flight away, I decided to repair them, as seen... the result ? next days and kilometers will tell... :)

as if hoovering above the silky clouds, the Trango Tower bazaltic pyramid perspective was an perpetual traveling companion in our third day of the K2 BaseCamp trekking...

12/07/2023

second trekking day on Karakorum Mountains' Baltoro Valley, and we already entered the glacier's moraine... bad news for our so far shiny boots :)

11/07/2023

Welcome to the great Karakorum Mountain Range, Pakistan, home to several unique stone giants towered by the infamous Savage Mountain, K2 (8611m)! 🏔️🤩

the serene desert's solitude invites curious explorers to uncover its aged unique mysteries, masterfully carved by Nature's elements into mystical phantasy characters...

layer upon layer, millenia-old volcanic ash erupted by Asian Hassan Daği 🌋 mountain, settled to "write" the timeless archive of the oldest historically-proven human urbanised area of our planet...

of all the faiths of the many peoples who have changed hands ruling over Malta, Christianity has left the most enduring and long-lasting traces. tall churches, towering above the quiet villages, shape the skyline from far distance. the "church of miracles" is particularly impressive, both due to its stunning location commanding over the landscape, as well as owing to its famous legends of miracle-makings, that still attract devote pilgrims from far and wide...

for millennia, the Maltese have been sea-faring people, the all surrouding warm Mediterranean waters shaping not only the islands' countless exquisite pristine bays and soaring coastlines, but also the very character and nature of everyday life for its native people, some of whom tirelessly still brave the rough sea waters in their colorful luzzo fishing boats, to the delight of curious foreigners seeking to discover the local charm and uniqueness of Malta...

a handful of small islands off the coast of Sicily have proven, time and again across history, being of paramount strategic importance to countless foreign rulers from Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, Moors, Normans, Sicilians, Spaniards, French to most recently British, each and everyone of them leaving their unique traces on these islands, their people and culture. however, Ġgantija, Ħaġar Qim and many other such megalithic temples, unique to the tiny islands of Malta, bare silent witness to a far more ancient civilization, that had once lived, flourished and then mysteriously vanished from these enigmatic lands...

Grateful for the perfect weather Großglockner has welcomed us with this year, too :)
