Christian Stangl: Additional Imaginations? |
Tuesday, 14 September 2010 17:18 |
After his imagination to have climbed K2 in August, several other achievements of Christian Stangl were questioned and if one compares his claims on his website and in his book with other expedition reports or witnesses, there are also some additional imaginations:
1) Shisha Pangma solo claim: He climbed together with a Basque expedition and he shared his tent with one of the members! 2) Cho Oyu new route and solo claim: He changed to the normal route and also shared a tent with another climber. This is also mentioned in the Himalayan Database. 3) Everest speed climb: Other Austrian climbers stated, that he did not start from ABC, but from The North Col.
During the K2 press conference he complained that it is embarrassing, when there are people, who wants to confirm everything, the whole free spirit of mountaineering would be in danger.
But, if everything could be confirmed, the only danger would be, that no more "Koma mountaineering" is possible!
