Tráva & Jaroš summited K2
26th July 2014 SINGING ROCK athlete Jan "Tráva" Trávníček and Czech renowned climber Radek Jaroš summited K2 (8,611 m).
(Petr "Miska" Mašek, the 3rd member of the push team, had to turn back 400 m under the summit. For sure it was a very difficult decision, but he saved his life! The summit can wait...)
Radek summited approximately at 4 p.m. local time, Tráva less than half an hour afterwards. They are the 4th and 5th Czech climber on the top of K2. Tráva did his 4th 8000er (with Gasherbrum I, Manaslu and Annapurna). Radek is now the first Czech climber to complete the tour of all 14 8000ers.
Big congratulation, we are proud of you!
