Mountaineer Denis Urubko has quit a dangerous bid to make the first solo winter ascent of K2, the world's second-highest mountain, a spokesman for his Polish expedition says.
Mr Urubko decided on Sunday to set out alone after a row with the expedition.
He is said to have wanted to make the ascent before the arrival of better weather conditions in March.
Amid concern over his safety, the expedition spokesman said Mr Urubko was now heading down the peak to a base.
Michal Leksinski told the BBC that he expected Mr Urubko to reach base camp by Tuesday morning at the latest.
