Team doing well at Gilgit

Hi friends,

We all had a great journey up to Fairy Meadows on the Southern side of Nanga Parbat, the worlds 9th highest mountain.
Yesterday we descended down the wild jeep road back the the KKH and to the lovely Serena hotel in Gilgit.
Today we were scheduled to fly back to Islamabad, however our flight has been cancelled.
You may have seen some of the international news of the monsoon flooding here in Pakistan. Rest assured we are all doing fine, just experiencing travel delays. We will see what options present today!
Thanks for following along.

Eric and the team

Thanks
Eric Murphy
