First Ascent of K6 West (7040m)
First Ascent of K6 West (7040m)
Another virgin summit has been conquered this summer. It’s reported that Rafał Sławiński and Ian Welsted reached the top of K6 West (7040m) in K6 massif, on July 28th. K6 (7278m) peak was first ascended by four Austrians in 1971. In 2007, Marko Prezelj, Steve House and Vince Anderson had to abort their K6 West (7040m) attempt without success, due to excessive snow and bad weather.
Expected route of K6 West first ascent.
