Route Notes Lacatusu and Kalden left C2 at 12:00 am on 30 Oct, summited at 8:45 am, stayed 20 minutes, then descended to C1 at 8 pm. Generally good weather on the mountain, but our summit day on the 30th was the worst due to extreme cold and winds, probably the worst day along the season. Gruia and Kalden (again) left C2 at 12:00 am on 3 Nov, summited at 9:00 am, stayed 20 minutes, then descended to C2 at 7 pm. Good conditions on that day.
