| Route Notes | Report from Anja Blacha: Approach: Heli to BC BC 16/05 5350m C1 -- 6000m C2 19/05 6440m C3 21/05 7100m C4 22/05 7900m Smt 27/05 by Blacha at 11:38 am Blacha intended to summit on 23/05 but did not leave C4 that night due to high winds. On 23/05, left C4 at 5 pm. She reached 8450m and turned back due to the high wind. She returned to C4 and left C4 on 24/05 to move to Lhotse C4 as she was thinking to climb Lhotse on 25/05. After speaking to Mingma G by Inreach, she decided to attempt Everest again on 27/05 and descended to C2 0n 24/05, where she arrived at 8 pm. She stayed one night at C2, and on 25/05 she left for C3 at 2:30 pm. Stayed one night and moved to C4 on 26/05. She left C3 at 4:45 am and arrived at C4 11:45 am. She left C4 at 9 pm on 26/05. The big Indian Army team was ahead of her. Straightforward climb. She stayed 10 minutes on the summit, and descended to C4 where she arrived at 6:30 pm. She packed her gear and moved to Lhotse C4, where she arrived at 7:30 pm. She intended to climb Lhotse the following day, but overslept. She wanted to leave for Lhotse at 1 am but woke up at 5:30 am. The Icefall Doctors were closing the icefall at 12 noon and that’s why she abandoned her Lhotse climb. She would have been strong enough to attempt Lhotse, but logistics did not allow her to. She left Lhotse C4 at 8 am to C2 and descended to BC with the remaining Sherpas. On 28/05 back to BC and left 29/05 by helicopter. Oxygen: Not taken, not used Blacha summited Annapurna I on 07/04 and Dhaulagiri on 10/05. |
