| Route Notes | Report from Antonia Samoilova: Approach: By heli to BC. BC on 15/10 at 5200m. Climb abandoned on 20/10 due to high winds, no fixed ropes above C3. Left BC on 21/10 to Namche and on to Ama Dablam BC. Members at end: 1 Sherpas above BC: 5 Climbing route: SW Route (same as Mingma Dorchi in winter 2022) Oxygen: taken, but not used. Rope-fixing Sherpas got to 7200m at C3. Stayed there for two nights and came back. Very windy above 7200m. Some Pioneer members went to C2 for acclimatization. SST members were already acclimatized and waited at BC for a potential summit push. It never came because of high winds and ropes not fixed to the summit. SST members did not go above BC. |
