Lhotse

Silvia Azdreeva from the Bulgarian town of Petrich has climbed K2 in Pakistan. This was announced by the company organizing the expedition.

The fall of Atanas Skatov under K2 (8,611 meters) ended fatally. Pakistani journalist Jamil Nagri first spread this news on his Twitter account, and then it appeared elsewhere, as it became clear that his dead body had been found.

His most recent achievement was the conquest of Mt Lhotse (8,516 meters) on May 14.

Bulgarian Climber Ivan Tomov died in the Himalayas, the organizer of the expedition announced.

On Thursday, the 35-year-old man from Rousse became the third Bulgarian to climb the eight-thousand-meter peak of Lhotse and the second to do it without additional oxygen.

After scaling the two highest peaks in the Himalayas, Everest and Manasulu, Kosovo alpinist Uta Ibrahimi said on Monday that she intends to climb the rest of the mountains in the range by 2023.

"My plan is to climb two peaks a year for the next six years," Ibrahimi told a press conference in Pristina.

The Bulgarian mountaineer Boyan Petrov became on Wednesday the first Bulgarian to have ascended the eighth highest peak in the world - Manaslu in the Himalayas.

The information was announced by the website of the expedition - Seven Summit Treks Manaslu and has not yet been confirmed by Petrov himself, which will be possible only after he reaches the base camp.
