Skardu

Today (Thursday 6.8) Grega, Mr. Babar (our liaison officer) and me had a morning flight to Skardu where Dejan already expected us. He just came back from basecamp of our K7 expedition in Charakusa valley. With our expedition cook and staff from Blue Sky agency he prepared loads for porters and tomorrow early in the morning we start with jeeps to Askole, the last village below Baltoro glacirer. The road is reported as blocked by landslides in a few places, so we would need to carry loads over. From Askole we hope to reach our base camp in 4 days.

Dejan from Pakistan

  The first member of Mustagh Tower exp. Dejan Miškovič is already in the Karakoram mountains. After he had arranged things for early departure of our expedition from Skardu (insh'Allah on Wednesday or Thursday) he is now on the way to Charakusa valley with members of K7 expedition. After his short acclimatizing we start together from Skardu to Baltoro glacier.
Grega and me still packing, of course... Out flight is tomorrow (Monday) afternoon from Ljubljana airport.
On the Slovenian site of our general sponsor Elektroservisi there's a new presentation of Mustagh Tower expedition. If everything works well we also hope to receive short e-mails to: mustaghtower@gmail.com. Without photos and attachments, please...
