Fast And Furious, Chogolisa Glacier (Baltoro – Pakistan)

First new route on a hitherto unclimbed face for the Up project expedition, currently climbing in the Chogolisa Glacier area (Baltoro – Pakistan). The Italians Fabio Salini, Ezio Marlier and Hervè Barmasse climbed the 700m "Fast And Furious", grading it V°, ice 4° and M6 mixed. The route touches the finishing crest at about 5500m but the trio backed off short of the summit due to worsening weather.

The trio, safely back in base camp, are already planning a new assault, while teammates Brenna and company are currently working on a route up the pillar of Chogolisa.
