Route Notes The Story from Dhaulagiri, 8167m, May 29th It's been some hard and challenging days since we flew from Kathmandu and arrived early morning in Dhaulagiri BC. We decided to go straight to C2 but after a couple of hours, we realized it was too far so we only went up to C1 and stayed one night there. The condition from BC was not so good, there was a lot of snow and we had to break trails to go up the mountain. We woke up early the next day and at 7am we started from C1 to go up to what I thought was just going to be C2. But after 6 hours to C2 we decided to continue up to C3. It took us 11-12 hours to reach C3. There, we had some tea and food and after that, continued the climb to the summit. After C2, the condition of the climb was much better. Me, Lama, Lakpa and Nima started out around 10:30 and after 23 hours total from C1, we reached the summit! It was a very nice climb, and a lot faster than what I did last year between C3 and the summit, the condition was a lot better. Although there was some wind on the summit, it was good before reaching the summit. It was a super nice and amazing morning view with Annapurna behind us. We then climbed down from the summit, all the way to BC after 34h. It was my longest summit push EVER. I didn't know how we would be able to do such a long summit push but we did it and the Sherpas were amazing. Overall, I'm very very happy we made it and so happy and grateful for the strong team from Seven Summit Treks. It was a really nice climb and we had a great time together. Thank you so so much Lama @tenjin_Sherpa, Lakpa, Nima and Pasang @pasang_rinzee. I'm super happy to be halfway through and 7 mountains done, it was all in a very short time and I'm a little tired. Still, I'm super happy now and enjoying some rest days in Pokhara. Huge thank you to all the sponsors without who I could not do any of this without (all tagged in the post). Kristin Harila
