Marius started at 1 o’clock, he was the first one who reached the summit,
followed by Aurel and then Zsolt. Teo is still climbing and is about one hour

Zsolt have with him bivouac foil, primus and food, only in case of need, the
intention is to get back to the tent at 7500 m. Weather is good, less wind, and
tonight will be light and moonlight.
When I talked to him on the phone was very happy and he described me the dream landscape “as from plane” with great clouds and in the distance saw the K2 peak, where he was in 2010.
Marius and Aurel are already below and Teo depending on how he moved, it is possible to make a bivouac or return down to the camp at 7500 m.

Nanga Parbat Expedition 2013
The Romanian Nanga Parbat
Expedition led by Mr Zslot Torok, a mountain guide by profession was briefed by
President ACP in the ACP office on 7th June 2013. The expedition, which
comprised of five members, plans attempting Nanga Parbat from Rupal face ie, the
East wall along the SSE pillar. President ACP, while briefing checked the
grades of climb and their strategy to tackle the pillar. He also briefed the
expedition about the earlier attempts made on this route which is considered
very difficult. During the briefing it transpired that the expedition has not
arranged for their Air Rescue cover with Askari Aviation and are relying on
their mountain guide insurance. The President ACP emphasised that all
mountaineers should arrange Air Rescue cover from Askari Aviation as problems
are faced during emergencies which has happned in number of cases in the past.
In case of non payment of prior Air rescue cover, Askari Aviation is not
obliged to provide the services when required. The expedition agreed to send a
copy of their guide insurance which covers Air Rescue. They were also advised
on the protection of the environments around the Rupal BC as well on the higher
camps.http://alpineclub.org.pk/
