Good morning,

Reports are issuing from the Karakoram of the deaths of 5 members of a trekking party en-route to K2. It is undestood, but not confirmed, that the lost persons are Balti porters. It is being reported they were roped together while trying to ford a fast moving stream and were swept away by the current. We will include any further updates on this incident as they come to hand in our next despatch due tonight.

Les porteurs

Our Broad Peak team have arrived at BC - the image attached is of our BC yesterday as it was being set up, with the bulk of Broad Peak in the background. The text file for this dspatch will be up on our web-site tonight, as will the latest G2 despatch. Sue Fears' team has also arrived, at the site of the G2 base-camp.
