Looks like none of the Seven Summits Treks members made the K2 summit. Snorri and team remain the only viable team for K2’s winter summit, but it’s very unclear as to their status.<\/p>\n
Dawa Sherpa, who is overseeing the climb from Base Camp posted:<\/p>\n
No New Summit! \u00a0Our entire team safely descended back to the C3, several of them approached to 8000m last night. In next few hours from C3 they will start descending to BC.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

John Snorri with Muhammad Ali Sadpara and his son Sajid Ali Sadpara continue to be a mystery. Their GPS tracker is clearly unreliable in this environment. His wife posted:<\/p>\n
\nK2 – 8.611m summit push on the 5th February , Friday morning after noon PKT. Please follow us share.garmin.com\/8OR9H<\/a>I have no new news since C3. The GPS track is unclear going back and forth. I believe it is just some misreading from the sat signal or low battery. We need to keep our faith on the team and believe they will succeed. Last signal shows they are in 7.818m and speed 1 km\/h<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\nClimb On!
