Route Notes Email from Rudolf Leeb, member of Annapurna IV Exp. Autumn 2011 Hallo Mr. Ang Tshering!!! As a member of Austrian Mt. Annapurna IV (7525m) Expedition want to give some facts for your information. After trekking from Jomosom to Manang we reached base camp on 13 Oct. We started to explore, debouch and ensure with ropes the way up to camp 1 (5500m) and camp 2 (6200m). On 20 and 21 Oct we had two days with snowfall. A team of 3 members, staying at camp 1 during this time, tried to ascent higher from there. Because of too much snow and obviously danger of avalanche, they were forced to resign and descend to base camp. On 24 Oct a small team together with the two climbing Sherpas started a new attempt of ascent. Because of the unchanged situation (deep snow and dangerous) they had to turn back between camp 1 and camp 2. We had to realize, that it would be impossible to reach summit during the 3 or 4 remaining days and canceled. Nevertheless we can confirm best service to ASIAN TREKKING and recommend this agency. Many thanks and greetings from Austria. - Rudolf Leeb
