"Humans have always been need to explore. There is an allure in the pursuit of the unknown." Dr.Buzz Aldrin. Astronaut&Explorer

 

Believe in the power of experience, have a strong team and cross the border of impossible. Winter Expedition K2.
As it was impossible flight in the air, stay under water in a submarine, landing on the Moon and beig in open space. The ascent to the Everest was also considered as impossible.

But human nature will never stop to explore and test their capabilities. Ensure that we are best only when we cross the boundaries of what's impossible!

Success is more than reached the peak. Experience, a strong team and a common goal. The ascent to the summit, which has not yet entered none of the people. It's like the first flight into space. 

  Together, with your help, we have a chance to write a new card of history.

I'm Denis Urubko professional athlete, mountaineer, writer, journalist. All of my adult life I've been profesional alpinist, it  is almost 24 years. Like any professional athlete I set the slope higher and higher, in order to be faster, higher and stronger. 

In this year during the expedition to third top of the world Kanczenjunga (8586m) on the North side, I managed to create an international team, which called on this expedition, and I am sure that will be next.  Alex Txikon, Adam Bieliecki, Artem Brown and Dmitry Sinev. We create next big project - the ascent to not reached mountain in winter - K2 (8611m). It is the second Mount in the world. 

We want to take the call, because our team in this part is ready. I, Alex Txikon and Adam Bieliecki - we managed to attract sponsors. 

We need help to raise funds for the participation of two additional members of the expedition.

 As a leader of expedition,  I have a lot of experience climbing in the high mountains, but I need more 2 person who I'd trust our lifes and be confident that they will do the same. 

Together we all will make one strong team.

I need to collect 15 000 USD. These tools are required to pay an additional two participants: airline tickets, visas, food, equipment, porters, a caravan of camels, Internet connection and solar panels.

In gratitude for the support I have prepared gifts - original expedition postcard with the signs of members of the expedition, originalne t-shirts with logo, a personal video gratitude recorded during the expedition.

Helping, you will be a member of expedition! :)

 Together we will confirm that only common goals, common efforts and a strong team, strength and skills overcome any difficulties and we will do the impossible.

I and my teammates have a lot of experience of climbing. Being nineteen I was served in the Sports Company of Central Sports Club of Army of Kazakhstan. Fulfilled the programe of climbing without oxygen at all 14 eight-thousanders. In a career I went through many difficult routes in the mountains of the Pamirs, Tien Shan and the Himalayas. 21 times I had made the ascent to the peaks above 8 thousand meters. In 2002 -2003 year I participated in the international expedition menaged by the Polish climber Krzysztof Wielicky - winter ascent on K2. With my friends Peter Moravsky and Marcin Kaczkan we had risen to the level of 7 860 meters - none before us and after does not attained such height in winter on K2. Unfortunately we had to stop to climb to the top, because we needed to resсue Marcin. After this it was not possible to continue the expedition.

 In 2009 I made the first winter ascent of Makalu, in 2011 the first winter ascent of Gasherbrum 2.


Other participants of the upcoming project Alex Txikon and Adam Bielecki have a great climbing experience.


Alex Chicon made ascents to the 10th of 8-thousanders, several ascents in winter. Adam Bielecki was on the summit of Gasherbrum 1 in 2012 in winter and the Broad Peak in 2013 in winter as the first person in the world.

I am convinced that with this team we have a chance to rise to the top of K2 in winter. If our team will be confident and will have strong people, then the chances of success of the whole team improves significantly 

The obstacle to achieving the goal of a shortage of the money to invite confident person to participate in the expedition. To do this, we collect additional money.
