| Route Notes | High point at C2 site. Rampini and Vielmo climbed together to ABC, C1 and to site of C2 on 23 April, but at C1 night of 28 April Rampini (crazy man) quarrelled with Vielmo. Moretti did not like him. Rampini after 28 April climbed alone. Vielmo and Moretti think Rampini never got higher than C2 site. Vielmo thinks he stayed always in ABC after that. Rampini later on 20 May telephoned me and said he went to C2 only one time - no one summited Cho Oyu, Spanish and Australians told him. |
