Route Notes Paulo Grobel - American Alpine Journal (online) Despite the long march, it was a privilege to visit the last village before the mountain, Ku. From there to our base camp at 5040m, which we reached on October 3, it was a great wilderness experience. We established advanced base at 5750m on the 4th and then climbed to the summit and back to base the following day. Climbing in five separate pairs, and reaching the top, were Laurence De Fleurian and Dhan Magar, Bernard Vallet and Etienne De Fleurian, Jean-François Males and Etienne Principaud, Anil Rai and Deepen Bothe, and Sonia Baillif and Paulo Grobel.
