At 8.45 am on 20/07/2005 Silvio Mondinelli from Italy, Edurne Pasabán and Iván Vallejo from Spain and the Baltì porter Hassán Jan reached the summit of Nanga Parbat, at 8125m the eighth highest mountain in the world. Shortly afterwards, the four were joined by Josu Bereciartúa, Ester Sabadell and Marianne Chapuissa, all members of the expedition “Al Filo de lo impossibile”.

The ascent was carried out without significant problems, in stable but cold and windy weather conditions. According to initial plans Silvio Mondinelli should have first attempted Broad Peak, but for permit reasons he moved to Nanga Parbat, stating that the ascent had been much harder than he had expected.

For those into statistics: this is Silvio Mondinelli's 12th 8000er (all without supplementary oxygen), and Annapurna and Broad Peak are missing to complete the list. Iván Vallejo has ascended 11 Himalayan giants while Edurne Pasabán, whom many will remember for the problematic descent off K2 last year, has ascended 8. Futhermore, the summit of Nanga Parbat was reached by three other female mountaineers: congratulations!
