While serious, he will continue climbing. Over on Everest, they remain locked down at base camp waiting out the weather but hope to start the summit push next week.<\/p>\n<p>See this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alanarnette.com\/blog\/2017\/12\/22\/k2-and-everest-winter-climbs-are-on\/\">post<\/a> for full background on the K2 and Everest expeditions and the history of winter attempts on the highest two mountains on Earth. Both expeditions need to summit no later than the spring equinox on March 20, 2018, at 0:15 PKT for K2 and 18:00 NPT for Everest to meet a winter summit definition.<\/p>\n<h3>Big Picture<\/h3>\n<p>Of all the objective dangers in climbing mountains, rockfall might be the one most feared. Along with avalanches and &#8220;disappearance&#8221; rocks hitting climbers are the most common dangers on K2. What makes rockfall on K2 so serious is the angle of the slopes &#8211; once a rock gets going, it becomes a deadly missile &#8211; without warning.<\/p>\n<p>Climber wear helmets but they do little to stop a moderate size rock zooming down a steep face. deven small rocks can cause serious injury. In 2015, Kami Sherpa had his shoulder dislocated and arm broken when he was hit by a rock on the Abruzzi Ridge. In 2006 Irish Climber Gerard McDonnell was hit in the head by falling rock and had to be helicoptered off the Hill.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_21515\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21515\" style=\"width: 360px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-21515\" src=\"http:\/\/www.alanarnette.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Kami-360x480.jpg\" alt=\"Kami in Kathmandu in September 2015\" width=\"360\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alanarnette.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Kami-360x480.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.alanarnette.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Kami-169x225.jpg 169w, https:\/\/www.alanarnette.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Kami-900x1200.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-21515\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kami in Kathmandu in September 2015<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Winter K2<\/h3>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/polskihimalaizmzimowy.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Polish team<\/a>\u00a0took advantage of a low-wind day to continue their acclimatization rotations.

He was helped back to base camp by two high-altitude ports where he received six stitches to close a large gash. He never lost consciousness and will return to the climb after a few days of rest.<\/p>\n<p>The team reported a snowstorm at base camp but the next few days should be good enough to make progress to Camp 3 with winds right at the edge of 30 mph\/50 kph.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_28898\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28898\" style=\"width: 732px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/denisurubko\/?hc_ref=ARRBHanlHUezjQYTq7CE5TkdoHnVgyCgfDTUxOmgfdj4Rp1qZYnBL8NWn_pocH4Tdjk\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-28898\" src=\"http:\/\/www.alanarnette.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/current-K2-route-on-the-Cesen-Colors-show-progress-from-each-rotation.jpg\" alt=\"current K2 route on the Cesen Colors show progress from each rotation\" width=\"732\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alanarnette.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/current-K2-route-on-the-Cesen-Colors-show-progress-from-each-rotation.jpg 732w, https:\/\/www.alanarnette.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/current-K2-route-on-the-Cesen-Colors-show-progress-from-each-rotation-172x225.jpg 172w, https:\/\/www.alanarnette.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/current-K2-route-on-the-Cesen-Colors-show-progress-from-each-rotation-366x480.jpg 366w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 732px) 100vw, 732px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-28898\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">7 Feb 18 K2 route on the Cesen Colors show progress from each rotation<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>You can follow them directly on their <a href=\"http:\/\/polskihimalaizmzimowy.com\/2018\/01\/15\/wiesci-z-15-stycznia-2018\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">website<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Polski-Himalaizm-Zimowy-2016-2020-im-Artura-Hajzera-161618080550304\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/adambielecki.pl\/spot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SPOT<\/a> tracker<\/p>\n<h3>Winter Everest<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/alex.txikon.5\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alex Txikon<\/a> and the team continue to stay at base camp after reaching 7,850 meters between Camp 3 and the South Col.
