Route Notes	BC 27 Mar 4200m C1 30 Mar 5050m C2 31 Mar 5500m C3 18 Apr 6450m HPt 18 Apr by Lopez and Bonilla at 7 pm. Lopez and Bonilla reached C3 on 18 April on their first summit attempt. They were climbing with other members of the Seven Summit teams (Cleo Weidlich, Rosa Fernandez, Farkondeh Sadegh, Tunc Findik). On 18 April the team was in their tents at C3, when an avalanche hit the camp. Nobody was hurt but some of tents were destroyed. The next day everyone descended to BC. During the descent, another avalanche happened between C2 and C1 at about 11 am. The avalanche did not hurt anyone; they just got dusted. On 1st May, Lopez and Bonilla started together with Soria, Findik and other members of the Seven Summits team to attempt the summit. They went directly to C2. The following morning, they saw another avalanche near the camp. On 2 May they went to the plateau at 5700m and they saw another avalanche and decided to abandon the summit attempt and descend to BC. They wanted to wait for better weather, but when it did not improve they decided to abandon expedition. They thought the mountain was too dangerous and there were too many avalanches. Oxygen: Not taken, not used. Fixed Rope: about 1500m by Seven Summit Sherpas. Sherpas: Lhakpa Sherpa, Makalu Kami Sherpa, Makalu
