| On 30 June the expedition led by the Brasilian Waldemar Niclevicz successfully summited Trango’s Nameless Tower, 6251m Pakistan. After 11 consecutive days of rain and snow the team made the most of a weather window to summit via the Slovenian route. Waldemar Niclevicz, Marcelo Santos and Irivan Gustavo Burda dodged falling debris in the final section to summit after 29 days, thereby becoming the first south American team to climb this mountain. Last year Niclevicz successfully summited K2, together with Abele Blanc and Marco Camandona. During his dramatic descent he was forced to bivi at 83000m, but luckily suffered no frostbite. The weather has now made a turn for the worse and the Brasilians are currently making preparations for their return to Islamabad and then home. by Manuel Lugli |  Further information about the ascent on the official website.
