Route Notes Detailas excerpted from web story by Cian O'Brolchain at http://gripped.com/news/canadians-on-nepal-first-ascent-with-strong-team/ The team of Mingma Tsiri, Furtemba, Pasang Tenzing, Nima Gyalzen, Tshering Pemba and Cian O'Brolchain from Ascent Himalayas along with two Canadians, two Norwegians and one Brazilian trekked into the Rolwaling valley in mid-October and established base camp above Beding at 4900m on 17 October below the S Face of Beding Go. After two days of acclimatizing at base camp while the Sherpas went route-finding and rope-fixing, the team started their ascent at 2:30 am of the mornng of 20 Oct up the 600m technical S Face which included several difficult rock pillars. Along the way, Stein Arve suffered from altitude and was led back to BC by Furtemba. Later Sean Konigs and Eystein Grusd abandoned the climb due to altitude and exahaustion. Quoted from O'Brolchain: Dean, myself and Dino were feeling tired but I knew we could keep going as there was three pillars left and Mingma thought we could climb them in three hours. After more traverses and climbing up and down the rock pillars, the summit was getting closer. Tsering and Nima were near the last pillar and doing a great job putting in the fixed line. Mingma, Pasang, Dean, Dino and myself decided we would keep going. There were many parts of the ridge that looked like it would be easy climbing but turned out to be more difficult and dangerous that it looked. While I was on a narrow snow section of the ridge, bits of snow were falling off leaving smooth rock underneath that was very difficult to get across. As we got closer to the final summit rock pillar, it was clear that this was going to be the hardest. The angle of the rock was jutting out with lots of loose rock falling to either side. I could see Tsering on the final rock pillar with Nima belaying and Pasang helping. As myself and Dean got to the last section, Tsering was standing on the summit with the Nepalese flag. It was amazing to see him, Nima Galzen and Pasang standing up there with the flag. A Himalayan first ascent. I was so happy for the Sherpas to have made the summit and be part of their expedition. Now all I had to do was try and climb up there to join them. When I reached the summit pillar, I knew I had to use all the energy I had in the tank to climb it. We had been climbing for nearly 12 hours at this stage. It had been tough climbing all the way to this point. I started climbing the last bit being very careful not to put my hands or feet on any loose rock. There was a lot of exposure on either side of the pillar and lots of loose rock. I started climbing up and at one section of it, I tried to move out to the left on the Nepal side but a big rock fell from underneath my feet. Then I moved back to the center of the pillar. As I climbed a bit higher a came to a difficult part and got stuck there for a few minutes. Holding on with my arms and trying to move my feet higher, was proving difficult. The other problem was the rope was slack and I couldn’t move the jumar up without letting go of my arms. After another couple of minutes my arms started to shake. I let go with one arm to try and tighten the rope in order to move the jumar. Next minute I fell and swung onto the right side of the pillar with a huge drop below me into Tibet. Hanging on the rope I got back onto the rock. Was able to tighten the rope and move the jumar bit higher and began to climb again. Was so happy the rope didn’t snap as there was so much sharp rock around. Tsering and the guys did a great job with the anchors and fixing the rope. I climbed the last part of the summit pillar without any problems, a few rocks fell on either side beneath my feet and then did a bit of a scramble to get onto the narrow summit. Soon after Dino and Mingma followed. It was amazing to be up there with Tsering, Pasang, Nima, Dean, Dino, and Mingma. We reached the summit after 12 hours of climbing at 14.30. As it was getting late, we knew we only had a short time on the summit and had to make a quick descent as there was so many technical sections we had to overcome to get down and wanted to make it off the ridge before dark. The winds were picking up and it would begin to get very cold. After some photos, video and congratulations on the summit with views of Everest, Cho Oyu, Ama Dablam and some other amazing mountains surrounding us, it was time to get off the summit. As we abseiled, traversed, and arm wrapped down, we could see that Dino was exhausted. The wind starting picking up and both Mingma and Pasang were helping Dino to move as quickly as he could to get off the ridge before dark came. I knew it was going to be hard to get down after we had pushed so hard on the mountain to reach the summit. We got off the ridge just after dark and was a big relieve as the wind picked up and people were getting cold. We slowly made our way down the south face of Beding Go, being careful not to let any loose rock fall on the people below. Once we reached the bottom of the ropes, we still had to make our way across the glacier and back to our crampon point. It was so good to see some of our kitchen staff at crampon point with hot juice and water. It was midnight at this stage and we still had an hour or so to make it back to our base camp. We reached base camp at 1.30 a.m. and was relieved that all the team had made it back safe to our base camp safe and were resting."
