Petzl, Schöffel, Lowa, Deuter, Lorpen, Komperdell and Adidas Eyewear can be proud that their contractee, Austria's Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner, has made it to the top of K2 at last – after a couple of ill-fated attempts. She is the first woman ever to have climbed all 14 summits higher than 8,000 meters without the support of an additional oxygen supply. Schöffel is organizing an auction to sell Gerlinde's jacket for charity purposes.
