Ten updated routes tables are posted here ! Apart from the new Korean route on Everest there were new routes on Nanga Parbat and Cho Oyu. In addition there are now the complete ascent tables to date on Kangchenjunga, Nanga Parbat, Gasherbrum I and Shisha Pangma. Also the draft table with the Shisha Pangma Central-Peak ascents is updated, but not all of the ascents of this peak are reported nowadays, so it needs help to complete the table.

It was difficult this year to compile the chronicles. Some false information was around on the net, but it was sorted out finally. The countings of the ascents of Everest are not finished yet, there were over 450! The fatalities table and the table with ascents without bottled oxygen (addition: Ludovic Challeat!) are updated already. The others will follow as soon as possible!

Confusion on Shisha Pangma’s North Face Routes solved |
|

Andrew Lock finished the 14 8000ers on October 2nd with Shisha Pangma. It was reported, that he made a variant of the “Iñaki route”, which is not correct.
To end confusion, 18 months ago the table with all routes and variants was published here and the original story with route sketch here, including a long forgotten route.
Austrian climbers made the first traverse to the East ridge in autumn 1980. It was published in the American Alpine Journal 1981, page 309, but forgotten in all publications afterwards until the launch of this website. The handmade route sketch was drawn by a member of the Austrian expedition and it was allowed to publish here under copyright.
