In
July 2015,
the team of climbers from Slovakia, New Zealand and Romania will not only attempt to climb 8.051
meters high Broad Peak in Pakistan, but also two of us will try
to break the World record in cycling in the
highest altitude!!!
By accomplishing this tough task we would be also listed in the Guinness Book of World Records!

Broad Peak is located on the border of Pakistan and China, in the center
of the Karakorum mountains and it is only 8km from K2 - the mountain considered
to be the most difficult eight-thousander in the world (Broad peak is also
called K3).
Karakorum
mountains offers one of the most beautiful scenery in the world...
as it has the largest concentration of high peaks on our planet.
as it has the largest concentration of high peaks on our planet.
A
massive Baltoro glacier that flows through
the valley is surrounded by high and steep
peaks that form the alley leading directly towards 8000m high peaks: Gashebrum I, Gashebrum II, Broad
Peak and K2.
Many climbers consider this scenery as one of the most beautiful on our planet. A person next to it feels powerless, but at the same time ineffably moved by its' beauty.
Despite its beauty; glacial cracks, deep snow, strong winds, very steep slopes and especially high altitude make our peak an unforgiving mountain.

Our team need to prepare very hard for
this challenge, which will not only require good
preparation and equipment. We
will also need good luck with the weather and when
dealing with some problems that can appear in Islamic part of the world...
For all mentioned above, it may seem extremely difficult to climb this mountain and even more with a bicycle! But we are so excited about this idea, that we want it to give a try.
Thank you for all your support in advance and keep cross fingers for us!
