Route Notes BC 10 Apr 4700m C1 13 Apr 5800m C2 18 Apr 6400m C3 16 May 7200m Smt 18 May by Amidi at 4 pm. Amidi left on his first summit attempt together with the Panzeri and Corona from Italy and Dawa (brother of Mingma Sherpa, who summited all 8000ers). The wind was very strong and the team stopped at the traverse at 7600m and waited for one hour for the wind to abate. While Dawa, Panzeri and Corona decided to sit out the storm, Amidi decided to go down and descended to C3, where he arrived at 9 am. At 10 pm on 18 May Amidi went up again alone. At 7800m he found the bivouac of Panzeri and Carona. He had a cup of tea with them and helped them down for about 200m as Corona was struggling with his feet due to frostbite. He then carried on and at 2 pm it started to snow and get very windy. He only stayed a few minutes on the summit as the weather went bad quickly. No visibility. He descended in the snowstorm and stopped at the traverse at 7600m at 8 pm and sat out the storm until 6 am the next day. He continued his descent in better weather. He reached C3 at 10 am on 19 May. He had a rest there and left C3 at 2 pm and descended to C1, where he arrived at 7 pm. The next day back to BC. On 21 May he walked to Marpha in one day. Afsaei never got higher than BC. He had fallen and broken his middle finger on right hand on way to BC. He left BC 20 April. Ramezani reached C3 on 10 May to deposit equipment. As they were quite late in the expedition he had to leave as he had to go back to work in Iran. He left BC on 13 May. Oxygen: not taken, not used.
