Route Notes High point on 19 May at 7700m by Wroblewski and Ang Pasang. On their summit attempt, they left at C2 at 11 am. They had waited so long as the weather was bad. After having climbed for about one hour (their camp was very low) the weather still had not improved and when they had reached about 7700m at about 12 noon they decided to turn back. As they had not established C3 before-hand it was better to go down. They descended to ABC, where they arrived at about 5 pm. On 22 May they left ABC again for another summit attempt, but when they reached the North Col, Wroblewski got a bad feeling to carry on. He thought that something might happen if they continued and they turned back to ABC. They left BC on 25 May. Bernhard reached Nyalam on 13 May. He fell down the stairs in a restaurant and went back to Kathmandu, where he arrived on 15 April. On 16 April he went to CIWEC clinic and was diagnosed with two broken ribs. Instead of flying home, he opted to go to an Ayurveda Centre first in Kathmandu and then in Pokhara. Oxygen: Taken and used from C1 to high point to C1 by Wroblewski During the night at C2 by Ang Pasang. Sherpa: Ang Pasang, Waku, Solukhumbu, 28/9/1979
Accidents Bernhard fell down stairs in Nyalam (two broken ribs)
