Makalu Expedition - news from Base Camp

Monday, September 14, - Makalu base camp

I left Base Camp to Makalu west pillar on Saturday morning at 00.30 am. I ascended directly to my small tent at 6700 meters. Basically it is more an overstepping than an ascent. The way to the actual west pillar passes over the two Jumeaux.

Makalu Expedition -8463m- west pillar solo

September 1, 2009 - Arrival at base camp (5250 meters above sea level).
Finally we reached the foot of the mountain. The 10 days lasting
trekking was not always very comfortable. The monsoon is still fully in
his element. So we mostly were humid and wet. Luckily the bloodsucker
didn't bother us too much.

Hubble

Only 8c+ but still the big one Hubble was first climbed by Ben Moon at the cliff of Raventor in the Peak. The world’s first F8c+, one small set of moves for man, but one giant leap for mankind. The route is pure power, it’s a boulder problem. It would be a font 8B boulder problem if it had a flat grassy landing. Seven hand moves, nine if you’re short.
