Team skied from C3 down to BC, however, it was not possible to ski without interruptions. Allemoz did not take his skis to the summit. No one snowboarded. Very strong winds and cold (-40 degrees C). Trauma 65 Expedition - reason for name: leader had a bad skiing accident in 2001. No 65 stands for district leader lives in. Both Sherpas came from Beding in Rolwaling. |
