Burasheva didn’t stay at regular BC, went directly to upper BC/ABC, as she was acclimatized already from her Manaslu climb. She was stuck for 4-5 days in Tingri and some more days at ABC due to the snowstorm that hit Tibet at the start of October. On 14/10 Burasheva with her Sherpa set off from C2 at 1 am.
