Broad Peak North, Solo Attempt. Solo I attempted the north buttress of Broad Peak North (7600 meters, 24,935 feet) during June and July but I had to give up because of bad weather. I was on the wall for 24 days, but had to stop at 23,000 feet because with the bad weather the avalanche danger became too great.
