Ueli Steck Summits Gasherbrum II

On July 9, 2009, Ueli Steck summitted Gasherbrum II (8035 m). Ueli returned safely to basecamp today, July 10, 2009. This is Ueli's second trip to Gasherbrum II. Three years ago, Ueli, Cédric Hählen and Hans Mitterer completed the first ascent of the East Summit of Gasherbrum II (7772 m), over the "Magic Line." For Ueli, this summer's Gasherbrum II expedition sets the stage for a fall attempt on Makalu.
