UAE-based adventurer Adrian Hayes, who recently conquered K2, will start planning his new expedition challenge when he returns to Dubai next month.
Hayes summited the second highest mountain last month, 60 years after the first conquest of K2, and almost a year to the day after his first attempt was aborted due to bad weather.
Regarded as the world’s most difficult mountain to climb, Hayes and Canadian team-mate Al Hancock reached the summit after travelling 8,611m over five days.
“I know what I’m doing next year but I will have to talk to stakeholders and will start organising and planning for that in September,” said Hayes, who has now returned to the UK for a short break.
“There’s nothing certain as of now.”
