Here are some trip diaries/blogs, as well as a few other scribblings of mine.

Gasherbrum II, 2006

In 2006 I went back to the Karakoram for the third summer in a row. We got lucky with weather and summitted easily. Gasherbrum 2 2006 Dispatches

Broad Peak, 2004 and 2005

I tried to climb Broad Peak (8047m) in both 2004 and 2005. The total number of climbers that reached summit in those two years was six. I wasn't one of them, but I came close in 2004. Here's the story of my 2004 summit attempt

In 2005 we didn't get any breaks with the weather; here's the whole Broad Peak 2005 story. The trek up the Baltoro is truly magnificent. More photos can be found in my photo galleries.
