This just in from the Italian K2 South team's Agostino Da Polenza;
"From K2 we can see (by telescope) abut 20 climbers going for the summit of Broad Peak(8046 m). At 14.30h five of them are on the summit. Meanwhile, the wind is rising, and lenticular clouds warn us of a sudden change of weather. Let's hope that those summiting Broad can be on time back to their tents".
In a later report Agostino shows his concernes about climbers on Broad, as the weather worsenes fast. " We see climbers on Broad peak climbing down back to their camps, though we are not able to see if any of them are still delayed on the summit ridge, coming back from the summit"
