Giripremi team scaled Mt. Nun 7135Mtrs (23,409 ft) on Tuesday, 3rd August 2010.
The Expedition was arranged by Giripremi, Pune. Team had left from pune on 8th July. Long drive of about 300 Kms from Leh, 2 days approch march to the base camp, lot of soft snow, cold winds, extreme bad weather during mountain days were few of the challenges. Other challenges include moving 1200kg of load from road head to base camp, opening the route, staying fit physically and mentally and of course climbing above 7000mtrs. Rupesh Khopade(leader), Bhushan Harshe (dy leader), Anand Mali, Tekraj Adhikari and Chetan Ketkar are the summitters.
Rahul Yelange reached to the high camps but had to give up summit bid as he was not keeping well on the summit day. Girish Chowdhari went up to ABC at an altitude of 17,500ft and returned as his approved vacation leave was over. Ajit Tate, managed the base camp of the team at an altitude of 15,500ft. He is still with the Team. Umesh zirpe and Paresh Naik accompanied the team from Leh to Base Camp mainly to help the team with the logistics (photos). Along with the Giripremi team the three Sherpas Gyalbo Sherpa (Uttarkashi), Pasang (Uttarkashi) and Ming Temba (Rimo Expeditions, Leh) reached to the summit.
Rupesh Khopde reached Shrinagar today (6th Aug) morning from mountains to share the news. He will be reaching Pune today evening. Everyone in the team is reported to be fit and fine. After long time since Satopanth (7075Mtrs) was climbed in 1992, Giripremi once again has got success on a peak above 7000mtrs and we consider it as an achievements. The logistic support for the expedition was given by a well known local agency in Leh "Rimo Expedition". I take this opportunity to thank Chewang Motup and Yangdu Gombu of Rimo expeditions for the support they have extended to the Expedition
Looking at the conditions in Leh due to heavy rains its hard to estimate the time the team will arrive in Pune. We will keep you posted with the update on that. I would like to take this opportunity to thanks Mr. Muffaddar Lokhandwala of 'Sports Equipments (INDIA)', Wildcraft Pvt Ltd., Mr. Ravindra Lunkad, Mr. Surendra Dugad, Mr. Milind Kirtane of 'Pegasus institute for excellance', Mr. Ghaisas (Minilake), Mr Rajeev Page, Mr Chandan Chavan, CottonKin Pvt. Ltd. and all the supporters and well wisher without which this gigantic task would not have been possible.
