Gregory Goes There

If you follow news from the high-altitude climbing world, you know it’s been a serious couple of weeks on Pakistan’s Nanga Parbet.

The Shared Summits Team that Gregory co-sponsored on their trip to Nanga Parbat found serious conditions and unforgiving weather on the mountain and took a more moderate course than some of the teams that were there. Expedition Leader Chris Warner says when it comes to climbing 8,000-meter peaks, success is coming home.

Now that the team has left the mountain, Warner has a few thoughts on what he saw over recent weeks, and what really matters when it comes to climbing big peaks.
