Storm frustrates the climbers bid, but the second Korean team reaches the summit.
The bad weather has come back with all its power. Clouds fill sky, leaving a very short visibility, just about 100 meters of distance. Yesterday morning, during our ascent to Camp 2, we realized dark clouds getting close, but we did want to believe that it was a threat. At the same time, over 8 thousand meters, the Koreans and Hans Kammerlander's team faced a hard situation trying to get the summit by the other route, Tomo Cesen. The Koreans could go down only to 8050 meters.
