Route Notes	High point at C2. Snow and wind and Berardi's family problem at home, so all decided to leave mountain and return home. On 30th April Manoni and Berardi went towards C2, from C1, but Berardi turned back at 7000m because worried about family problems at home while Manoni up to C2 alone. Manoni pitched C2 alone and slept there night of 30th April, but bad weather sent him down to C1 on 1st May and ABC 2nd May. Other 2 members tired and never above ABC.
