Winter Nanga Parbat debrief: Old shoulders’ pride

(MountEverest.net/K2climb.net) "If you do not take up the challenge, we shall have to take it on our old shoulders, without a guarantee of success." So ended Krzysztof Wielicki's Winter Manifesto read in 2002 at the convention of the Polish Alpinist Association.


Better try and fail

All Pakistan’s 8000ers – K2, Nanga Parbat, Gasherbrum I, Gasherbrum II, and Broad Peak – still wait for a first winter ascent. So does Makalu. Now is a great time for such an expedition: Technology offers the best gear and communication systems ever imagined, Pakistan government has lowered climbing permit fees to almost zero and, as Mallory pointed out, the peaks are there. So how come nobody seems interested?

The Polish winter Nanga Parbat expedition have retreated from the mountain but they come back winners. These guys, took upon their 'old shoulders' what few young climbers dared.

Tanpa Lagu Pengantar Tidur…

Okay, im gonna tell ya this is a bad news (for me).

my SE K700i earphone is broken, the right speaker is disconnect, i tried to fix it but failed, yes the left is still okay, but the not good if you want to listen mp3.

i think its okay when the earphone broken, its about 1,5 years old on my hand and some times before, the joystick also broken but it fixed when i take it out to SE Service Center and it cost me 100 thousands rps.

yes, it will be the night without cradle of filth on my ears for a while, but its okay, i plan to buy i a new one (i hope soon, maybe next month), still SE of course and still in K series… i think this one is okay for me, the price is fairly low at the moment and the phone is (still) great.

No i dont think to sell my old K700i, i will keep it for my self (hopefully), too many memories to forget and i still love it. 

Update:

well, finaly she's here with me and i got the maroon one (i think this is a new colour for built after may 2007, which is have some upgrade on the camera functionality).

Go Davidson, Go Super Aguri !

Anthony Davidson put Super Aguri in uncharted territory at the top of the timesheets in testing at Jerez on Thursday, sensationally outpacing both Renault's new R27 cars.

The Briton completed 145 laps in the team’s interim SAF1 car, posting a best time of 1:19.628s to underline the Honda-backed squad's impressive progress this winter.

Davidson continued to analyse the performance of the 2007-spec Bridgestone tyres with some low-fuel runs at the Spanish track in the morning, with the team ramping up the length of the runs as the day progressed.
