K2 Disaster

The Spanish News site Gara has reported that 11 climbers are dead and six missing. Details coming from K2 are very sketchy at this time. But this is what was reported.

An avalanche in the top of K-2 (8,611 meters) claimed on Friday night (late in the Basque Country) the lives of eleven climbers-three Koreans, two Pakistanis, two Nepalese, one Serb, one Dutch and one Norwegian -- While six others-whose identity was not known at the close of this edition, although there is no Basques among them-are still missing.

Lets hope and pray for the climbers on the mountain.

More details will follow.
