K2 - The Norwegian K2 Expedition is approaching the top of the K2 mountain from the Pakistan side - see video clips!

The six members of the team are: Rolf Bae - Leader - Cho Oyu in 2003, Ms. Cecilie Skog - Cho Oyu in 2003, Everest in 2004, Trym Saeland, Oystein Stangeland, Sigurd Felde, and Per Henry Knutsen, who is the manager for the Base Camp.

Today, Friday 24 June, the 3 climbers in Camp 2 will try to climb further up and the two in Camp 1 will catch up with the others. The weather is reported by the expedition members as still sunny and nice (see their website www.K2005.no ).

On Wednesday 22nd June all the 5 members of the climbing team arrived in Camp 1.1 on 5900 meters. Their plan was to stay on the mountain for four days, establish Camp 2 on 6450 meters and hopefully move further up towards the 7000-border. All members are in good shape, but it has been hard work.

One 21st June three of the expedition-members were live on Norwegian Television. You can see and hear the interview at their site: LIVE-FROM K2 BC on Norwegian TV2! Click on the link: www.K2005.no .
