When we saw that the wind was still quite strong at the first camp and that in those conditions, it was impossible to continue equipping more, we decided to return to the Base Camp. It has helped us to prove ourselves and to see how long it takes us. We took our headlamps and went out at night, it took us 7 hours to get to Camp 1. We spent there a few hours at -40 degrees of thermal sensation, and we returned to <span class=\"text_exposed_show\">the Base Camp. In total 16 hours, we are happy of doing it in that a short space of time. Therefore, it is important to respect the weather until the K2 gives us the chance to go up again. We are in winter and this is how the mountain works, but I wouldn\u00b4t change it for anything else.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>You can follow their movements\u00a0on Alex&#8217;s\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/racetracker.es\/rtc\/track_34\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">GPS tracker<\/a>, \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AlexTxikon\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>, \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/alextxikon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Instagram<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/alex.txikon.5\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_20153\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20153\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-20153\" src=\"http:\/\/www.alanarnette.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/IMG_2446-640x480.jpg\" alt=\"Climbing the Black Pyramid on K2\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alanarnette.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/IMG_2446-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.alanarnette.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/IMG_2446-225x169.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.alanarnette.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/IMG_2446-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.alanarnette.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/IMG_2446-900x675.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-20153\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Climbing the Black Pyramid on K2<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Winter\u00a0Nanga Parbat &#8211; Holding<\/h3>\n<p>Daniele Nardi, and British Thomas Ballard continue to wait out weather at base camp.
