The poor weather in the Karakorum that slowed climbing has eased a bit and teams are now working on their acclimatization rotations in earnest. The new 4G cell tower recently installed in Concordia is down preventing a lot of information from K2, Broad Peak, and the Gashbrums.

K2 is crowded but not as bad in the past few years. Garrett Madison of Madison Mountaineering texted me that “Not very crowded yet. I counted about 80 climbers total for K2, including all Pakistani as well.”
