Old friendships are important, so I had the pleasure to meet with Ralf Dujmovits who introduced me to his new wife Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner at the 2012 winter ISPO show in Munich. Ralf reached his last 8000m peak (Lhotse) in 2009 and became the first German on the 14 8000 and number 16 in the line: 1989 -- Nuptse NW ridge 1996 -- Nuptse Northpillar 1990 -- Dhaulagiri 1992 -- Mt Everest (supplemental oxygen) 1993 -- Baruntse 1994 -- K2 1995 -- Cho Oyu 1998 -- Cho Oyu 1996 -- Shisha Pangma 1997 -- Shisha Pangma 1999 -- Broad Peak 2000 -- Gasherbrum II 2001 -- Nanga Parbat 2009 -- Lhotse Ralf is a strong and dedicated DAV Guide, and his record contains numerous successful expeditions, guiding clients to a 8000m summit. A true pillar in German High Altitude climbing, and a great man. Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner is a Austrian climber, out of the "old school", extremely attached and sensitive to the notion of "The mountain". August 2011 Gerlinde and Ralf engaged a climb of the Japanese route of the North Pillar of K2. Here Gerlinde summited her final 8000m peak and became the first woman to complete the 8000m without supplemental oxygen: 1998 -- Cho Oyu, 2001 -- Makalu, 2002 -- Manaslu, 2003 -- Nanga Parbat, 2004 -- Annapurna I, 2004 -- Gasherbrum I, 2005 -- Shisha Pangma, 2005 -- Gasherbrum II, 2006 -- Kangchenjunga, 2007 -- Broad Peak, 2008 -- Dhaulagiri, 2009 -- Lhotse, 2010 -- Mount Everest, 2011 -- K2. A full report of the K2 climb 2011, will be published in a 32 page report in ...
