The Poles Janusz Gołąb, Maciej Kimel and Michał Król withdraw from their attempt at the British Route in the winter on the Nameless Tower, Trango.. After 8 days on the wall, they had managed to set up the C1 at 5,500m and reached 5,750m, but the difficult conditions they encountered, with strong winds of up to 65 km/h, increasing snowfall and avalanches, made them decide to withdraw. The descent was also difficult amidst multiple avalanches, but they are safe and sound at the BC. This great winter treasure of Karakorum will be waiting for the next daredevils.

"Janusz Gołąb, Maciej Kimel and Michał Król are already active on the Trango Nameless Tower wall. Yesterday evening they reached bivouac 1 on the snow shoulder at an altitude of about 5500m. The climb took three days and, unfortunately, the snow conditions were very bad.
Today, despite the good forecast, snow is falling and there is a strong wind, so the climbers are waiting at the wall gate for better weather tomorrow morning. They also managed to bolt a snowfield (marked on the photo) on the British Route (VI 5.10 A2, 1100m).
Fingers crossed and we wish for a rapid improvement in the weather and good conditions." Via Polski Himalaizm Sportowy

19/02/2022: Aiming for the first winter at the Nameless Tower

An expedition is going to attempt the first winter visit to the Nameless Tower. Poles Janusz Gołąb, Maciej Kimel and Michał Król have set off for Pakistan to try to take one of the great winter treasures of the Karakorum. They will attempt the original British Route (1000m, VI, 5.10, A2) with the uncertainty of not knowing what they will encounter in its winter state. They hope that the ice will provide the continuity that will allow them to ascend using only ice axes and crampons.
