| Route Notes | C1 at NE Col C2 on NE Ridge C3 on NE Ridge. 2 members and Muktu Sherpa left C3 at 2:40 am and other 5 members and 1 Sherpa at 3:40 am. Made traverse on North Face to small couloir, up couloir and left to top. Vallejo and Gonzalez-Rubio on top 12:15 pm and Latorre and Oruiz at same time, while other members and Muktu at 1:15 pm. Quite windy and first summiters had to wait for wind to let snow settle a bit so could see where the traverse route was; for second group no such problem. Rope fixed: 200m BC to C1, 200m C2 to C3, 100m on traverse beyond C3. Vallejo's Dhaulagiri summit was his last 8000er and when he got to top he raised both arms above his head with his ice axe in one hand and ice hammer in other and sobbed. Sherpas: Muktu Lhakpa, 2/8/72, Tashigaon, Makalu, Everest X2, K2 X1 Pasang Temba, 20/1/83, Makalu-5, no 8000ers [Ever X1] (reached C3 but did not join summit push because had bad headache and stayed in camp) |
