Indian Bhavik Ghandi has become the first Asian to row across the Atlantic - solo, and beach to beach. On Everest, Conrad Anker and his team bagged the latest spring summits registered ever. But questions have arised about the press release of the climb: "First to free climb the route? The first confirmed true, i.e. unaided, ascent?" What's up with all that - and what about Cadiach and Fritsche? ExWeb has sent out emails to sort things out - so stay tuned.
Meanwhile, international mountaineers forge ahead on new routes in Pakistan, and many more climbers are approaching the country’s higher peaks. On a sadder note, exploration pioneers Wally Herbert and Ernest Hofstetter passed away last week.
Bhavik Gandhi ARRIVES in Antigua - Solo Atlantic row completed! "Bhavik arrived at Jabberwock Beach, Antigua at 5:45 p.m. local time," his home team reported on Friday. "He is the first Asian to complete an Ocean Rowing Expedition solo and unassisted, land to land." Bhavik has made an incredible row, in spite of serious adversities, the Indian rower even managed to beach.
