If being the first guys to successfully climb Gasherbrum II, the first 8000meter peak in the Karakorum ever successfully climbed in winter, wasn't enough Simone Moro, Denis Urubko and Cory Richards just announced plans through North Face to make a winter attempt on 8126 meter Nanga Parbat also known as "Killer Mountain" which is the ninth highest mountain in the world this winter!!! Nanga Parbat has also never been successfully climbed in winter.

Cory Richards filmed almost constantly while climbing Gasherbrum II and created the short documentary film “Cold" which I am still searching all over the place to find. He was the first American to ever climb a 8000meter peak in winter.
Quick You Tube link for the trailer “Cold.” I get chills just watching this.
