1. El Cap
2. Leaning Tower
3. Mt Watkins
4. Washington Column
5. Half Dome
6. Liberty Cap
7. El Cap Spire

"However, it had in fact been done before by Quinn Brett and Josie Mckee back in 2016. And the idea to repeat it wasn’t even my idea, it was Sean’s!
There wasn’t a huge amount of planning that went into it...they hadn’t even done some of the routes

The famous Austrian rock climber Jakob Schubert , announced that he completed one of the most difficult climbing routes in the world: “Perfecto mundo” of category 9b +!
Thus, to the long-established 9b + group which included Czech Adam Ondra , American Chris Sharma , German Alexander Megos and Italian Stefano Gizolfi , Austrian Jacob Schubert was added !
For our part, we note that with this passage, Jacob already has 14 routes of complexity 9a + and above, which means that in general statistics he climbed to 7th place among the most powerful climbers in the world!
And it was the third walkthrough after Alex Megos and Stefano Gizolfi.

Famous Spain mountaineer, Alex Txikon will go to Antarctica in December to explore and search of untouched mountains and technical lines said:
And after that he has another Winter expedition... He will go to Nepal
" There are so many 7 thousand to climb and to test yourself, why all go to K2?".
And it will do so. The Basque mountaineer will leave next January 10 for the Ama Dablam (6812m) , the Himalayan Matterhorn, with Félix Criado and Íñigo Gutiérrez Arce . The three climbers plan to close the shipment in about 25 days.
While Tkikon should be in Antarctica , Félix Criado and Íñigo Gutiérrez Arce will begin to bring the material from Spain to Nepal, by car. An adventure in adventure, crossing 12 countries for a total of 13,000 kilometers. Certain stage is that of Islamabad, where they will have to recover the equipment left last winter after winter at K2. With them they will also bring school supplies and clothing for Nepalese children.

Denis Urubko: his winter at Broadpeak is precise!
Denis is expected to arrive in Islamabad on December 12th. It is there that he will find his companions . We already knew about Don Bowie's presence but the Canadiens will not be alone. He will be accompanied by his "student" , the Finnish Lotta Hintsa who follows him on his latest expeditions.
they plan to reach in winter, a priori December 23. Next will be about 40 days of track preparation and ascent. Needless to say that - in the great tradition dear to Denis - everything will be folded before February 28th. If (and only) if the success is at the rendezvous, Denis could claim to join the slopes near the K2.
Such an ascent of Broadpeak would be (in Urubko's eyes) the first true winter of this 8,047-meter peak...
