| Route Notes | Snow conditions were excellent, but weather very cold (at C2 -20 degrees inside the tent). Alain Meyer started at 3 am, climbed 45 minutes (to 6550m), but had too cold feet so went down in 15 minutes to C2. Spent 1 hour 30 minutes to warm his feet (white), waited for the sun 2 hours more, then started at 7:30 am for the BC, which he reached at 10:30 am. Denise Meyer and Rousseau started at 3 am. Rousseau reached the summit at 9 am with Pasang then Meyer reached summit at 11 am with Ngima Sherpa. On the way down, the crew stopped 3 hours at C2 then was back at 3:30 pm at C1. The day after they were back at BC. Sherpas: Pasang Temba Sherpa, (2043/07/10) 27/10/86, Lukla Nima Ongdi Sherpa, (2035/10/05) 19/1/79, Makalu-5 |
