Broad Peak Attempt. After reaching Base Camp at 4850 meters on August 4, we had five days of snowfall. From August 10 to 14 we ferried supplies to 6000 meters and kept on to the summit ridge at 7950 meters, about 100 meters from the top before the weather turned bad. Second, third and fourth attempts, which reached 7800, 7300 and 7300 meters, were all turned back by bad weather. We helped Wanda Rutkiewicz search for her friend, Barbara Kozlowska, who was drowned in a glacial stream below Broad Peak and then helped to bury her.
