Broad Peak Summits!

It comes with great pleasure to share that the Madison Mountaineering Broad Peak expedition team has successfully reached the summit, standing atop the world’s 12th-highest peak! Climber, Matthew Holt alongside Aang Phurba Sherpa and Temba Sherpa gathered on the summit and shared hugs and high-fives before starting their descent. More updates and photos to come from their climb!

Meanwhile, the K2 expedition team climbed from Camp 2 to Camp 3 today, navigating the Black Pyramid – a steep rock face that separates the two camps. With another good day of climbing under their belts, the team has crawled into their tents for the night with plans to continue their climb tomorrow! Expedition leader, Garrett Madison checks in with this dispatch from Camp 3:

Greetings from Camp 3 (7250m/23,800ft) on K2 (8611m/28,251ft). All good here. Broad Peak (8051m/26,414ft) team made summit today, Matthew, Aang Phurba & Temba Sherpa!
