Route Notes	Approach: By road to Beni & Darbang, trekked N to Dabang->Pakoben->normal BC via Myagdi Khola. BC at normal site C1 above NE Col C2 on NE Ridge. Climbed NE Ridge to C2 on 7 April at 6500m and to BC 8 April. Descending to BC to rest in bad weather. Left C1 at 8:30 am and Morawski fell at 9:00 am when snow bridge across crevasse collapsed under him and fell 25m into crevasse. Polish members of rescue expedition Justyna Szepieniec and Peter Hamor tried to pull him up but he was tightly wedged, so Hamor went down in crevasse to get him out but could not move him. When rescuers arrived only at 11:50 am they got him out; at 12:15 pm died probably from freezing, but possibly was due to internal injuries. He was talking still shortly before rescue, but unconscious when reached top of crevasse. Hamor put body into crevasse at wife's request. Rescue team: Poles led by Ryszard Gajewski
