Route Notes The Story from Annapurna, 8091m, June 5th I'm very happy to be done with Annapurna, one of the most difficult mountains. I'm always more nervous about Annapurna because of the challenging climb and the high risk of avalanche. I was worried about going so late in the season, since there had been no summits since April, and it's a completely different climb to be alone compared to when I did it last year. I saw some people ask why there were so many Sherpas on this climb, but it's totally different to climb with no people in the mountain compared when there is a lot of people, which is why there was such a big team of Sherpas, and I'm grateful because they did a great job. We arrived in BC and rested until 3 am the next morning, 4 Sherpas were already in C2 and we climbed up to meet up with them. The conditions were ok and we slept until 4am the next morning in C2. We left at 5 am with very good conditions. It was a really nice climb up, much easier than last year. We took a 3h rest in C3 before the summit push. We climbed from C3 and used 14h to get to the summit. The climb conditions were Ok and the weather was great. I put on oxygen in C4. I was very happy to reach the summit. It was thanks to the really strong team who did a great job. We wanted to be as fast as we could while being safe because we knew there could be snow, so I am so impressed by everyone's teamwork and strength. When at the summit you are only halfway and a lot of accidents happen on the way down, so we safely and slowly made our way down to BC with rests along the way at the other camps. I felt so so sleepy. I even fell asleep multiple times! So, I'm super tired but happy to be done with 8 mountains in the spring. It's only me and Lama who have done this in such a short amount of time, and I couldn't have done it without him. I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has helped me during this climb: Lama (@tenjin_Shepa) and all the very strong Sherpas: Tenjing Sherpa, Pasang Nurbu Sherpa, Lakpa Temba Sherpa, Mingma Tenjing Sherpa, Pasang Sherpa, Lakpa Gyaljen Sherpa, Seven Summit Treks, all of you and my amazing sponsors!
