“The first time I stood in front of Masherbrum, I knew I had found what I was looking for. A face so incredibly huge and difficult, you are tempted to believe it is impossible.“ These are the feelings expressed by extreme mountaineer David Lama at sight of the yet unclimbed northeast face of Masherbrum in the Karakoram mountain range. Together with Peter Ortner and Hansjoerg Auer, the climbing prodigy wants to take on the wall 3500 metres in height this summer. Currently, the three climbers are acclimatizing at an altitude of about 7000 metres above sea level. By the end of June, they will set off for Masherbrum.
