Route Notes Moro and his client Garioni arrived in Nepal in March and went first to Island Peak for Garioni's acclimatization, then proceeded to Everest BC, where they arrived on 7th April. They made no C1 on the 13th, then descended to BC the next day because they needed to rest and no ropes had been fixed yet above C3. Urubko came to Nepal in April and reached BC on 22 April. He joined Garioni and Moro when they returned to C2 on the 25th and the three men established C3 on the 26th. Garioni and Moro took a helicopter to Kathmandu on 29 April for a better rest for Garioni and flew back to BC on 3 May. But now Garioni started feeling sick with a stomach virus, and on the 4th he again flew from BC to Kathmandu, this time alone, and left Nepal later that day. The Garioni-Moro attempt on Everest together had ended, but that of Moro and Urubko had not, and they pitched C4 at the South Col on 8 May. On the 9th they returned to BC to rest, went back to C2 on the 13th and to C3 in the 14th. On the 15th, while Urubko went up alone to C4, Moro climbed as high as the Yellow Band (7600m) to help in the planned evacuation by helicopter of the bodies of a Russian, Sergei Duganov, who had died there on 7th May from altitude sickness, and of a Swiss, Uwe Goeltz, who collapsed and died on 22 May 2008. On 16 May Urubko left C4 at 6:10 am to forge a new route on Lhotse. He moved from the Col to Lhotse's North Ridge and along the ridge for 600m. He then traversed for 1.5 km below the ridge, avoiding the pinnacles on the crest of the ridge, to the couloir at 8300m on the West Face, which he gained at about 10:00 am, and finished his climb up the normal route through the couloir. He did this entire day's climb without fixed ropes, making it difficult, and without oxygen, and reached the summit at 11:30 am. The weather was clear, the wind blowing at 40 km/hr. He descended to C2 by the normal Lhotse-Everest route at 4:00 pm and rejoined Moro in BC at 8:00 am on the 17th. On 20 May Moro left BC at 7:00 am and climbed in three hours and twenty minutes to C2. The next day he moved up at 7:00 am from C2 and reached C4 at 4:00 pm. He rested there, then left at midnight and at 6:20 am on 22 May, he gained the summit of Everest, where he found Koreans and Russians. He went down all the way to BC the same day and was back there at 4:30 pm. Urubko in his own bid for Everest's summit, left BC at 3:00 am on 23 May, but got no higher than C2. He was too tired to go on and was back in BC at 8:00 pm. The two climbers left BC on the 26th in a helicopter co-piloted by Moro flew to Kathmandu. Oxygen was used by Garioni when he was sick in BC, and by Moro while ascending the final 300 meters to the top because his fingers and toes were becoming numb.
