Nanga Parbat-Missing Mountaineers

0

It hurts to announce that the search is officially over for Daniele Nardi and Tom Ballard who went missing on Nanga Parbat on February 24. As informed by the Italian ambassador to Pakistan, Stefano Pontecorvo, those two reported silhouettes/objects spotted on the mountain are those of Daniele and Tom and it was not possible to reach them.
Our hearts and prayers go out to their family and friends and to everyone who loved them. We may find solace in words that they died doing what they loved but the fact remains that death is final whereas life is full of possibilities.
May your souls rest in eternal peace, Daniele Nardi and Tom Ballard ❤️

Lady Finger-The beauty that never fades

2


The Bublimotin, or Ladyfinger Peak is a distinctive rock spire in the Batura Muztagh, the westernmost sub range of the Karakorum range in Pakistan. It lies on the southwest ridge of the Ultar Sar massif, the most southeasterly of the major groups of the Batura Muztagh. The whole massif rises precipitously above the Hunza Valley to the southeast. Bublimotin, while having little prominence above the saddle with nearby Hunza Peak, is particularly notable for being a sharp, relatively snow less rock spire among snow peaks. This, combined with its height above the valley, makes it quite eye-catching, hence the distinctive name. It provides a 6,000 meters (20,000 ft) rock climb and has been the notable spot for paragliding.
