Ascent Pumori Expedition
Pumori · 1991 · 가을 (3) · UK
원정 개요
BC near lake
C1 at small rib at start of climb
C2 at top of rib.
Dangerous above C2 to col (serac falling) but easy if one goes very fast. On descent from col, German Breuer was coming behind Gunnarsson, but no one saw Gunnarsson start his fall: could have been hit by ice block, could have misstepped. Fell from 6700 to 5300m altitude & found body in 5 pieces at bottom, where much avalanche debris collects and will be covered by more debris soon. A third summit party was a day behind Gunnarsson but gave up final attempt after his fall.
Joe Simpson in "This Game of Ghosts" states (pp 309-310) that Gunnarsson was struck on the head by a falling ice block 100 ft above C2 and fell hundreds of feet down. Accident was witnessed by German climber.
