| Route Notes | On 5 Oct Naldi and Pemba Renzi left C1 at 9 am. Weather was clear but very windy and cold. When they reached the high point at 11:30 am (NST), they decided to turn back due to cold and wind. They descended to ABC and arrived at 4:30 pm. On 7 Oct Naldi and Pemba Rinzi ascended again to C1 but Naldi did not feel well. They turned back at 6300m. Blanc had ascended to C1 on 6 Oct and when Naldi and Pemba Rinzi turned back he also descended to ABC. On 10 Oct Naldi and Abele reached C1 together. But Pemba Rinzi was feeling very sick so he turned back at 5800m. He took with him all the climbing gear. Abele and Naldi stayed at C1 for two nights but weather deteriorated. Naldi did not think he could summit without his Sherpa. |
