| Route Notes | Dawa and Ciccarelli left C3 at 5 am on 30 Sept. The weather was clear but very cold. They only spent a few minutes on the summit as C2 was very cold. They descended to C2 after the summit. On 1 Oct they descended to ABC. Baesso got to C1 on 20 Sept, but returned to ABC the same day. She did not go further as she never intended to climb and it was too hard for her. Sherpa: Dawa Sherpa, aka Dhaulagiri Dawa, 7/12/59, Walung, Makalu VDC, Cho Oyu 9/5/06 |
