Route Notes High Point: 13th April 6370m. On 22nd April, Partovinia was caught in an avalanche just below C3 at about 6000m. He was on his way to C3 when the avalanche hit at about 7 am. On the left-hand side of the slope, three Sherpas from the South Korean team were walking up, however, they only got dusted. When Partovinia saw the avalanche coming, he threw away his backpack and put a facemask on his mouth (luckily he had time to do that). When the avalanche hit, he was swept down the mountain for about 300m. He managed to "swim" in the avalanche and stayed more or less on top so he could dig himself out. Nobody else got caught in the avalanche. He descended to base camp afterwards, but he was in a lot of pain and it took him 7 hours to get there. He stayed in BC for about ten days during the bad weather period. On 11th May he went back up to 6000m and fixed some rope just below C3, the place where the avalanche hit. After he did that he went back to base camp. On 14th May he tried another summit push and reached C2. He stayed one night at C2 but decided that there was too much snow and it was too dangerous. On 15th he descended to base camp and decided to abandon the expedition due to avalanche danger. He left BC on 16th May. When I asked him whether he was following Edurne Pasaban's new route, he said he thought so.
