| Route Notes | ABC same as Garrido's sites. Left C2 at 12:30 pm 4/5 May for top with Ramos and Aguero of other expedition. Went up direct shortcut to top without rest. Near 8000m at 9:00 am, stayed there 1 hour because it was very cold. There Subias had blood coming from mouth and rectum because very weak, tried to continue up, but could not (and Aguero down with him) and took long time to return to C2. Arrived at C2 at 2:00-3:00 pm. Down to ABC with help from police and arrived ABC next day in afternoon. Doctor put him on intravenous drip, but not sure of course, maybe strong, but said very serious; now weak but blood not emerging anymore. Javier Subias was semi-independent of Garrido's Spanish-French expedition. |
