Czech trio will attempt to conquer Masherbrum

Radoslav Groh, Marek Holeček and Tomáš Petreček are setting out to conquer Masherbrum, the 22nd highest peak in the world. They are going to climb the western side of the mountain, which has never been attempted before. Only four expeditions have reached the peak to date, most recently in 1985. The trio should reach the base camp at the foot of the mountain in a few days’ time. They plan to start their ascent at the beginning of August.
