| Route Notes | Notes about 29 Oct summit day: - Isabelle Guillaume and Karma are the first summit around 10:15. - Fabrice Durand initially roped with Isabelle had cold feet and came back with Dorje, Karma continued on with Guillaume. - Manu Matergia roped with Deepen stopped not very far from the top (from 100m). - Alex Quarrey initially with Duche, continue to the summit with Rajan. Duche reached the shoulder and went down with Matergia. - Francois with Jangbu reach the summit. - Francois and Dhan and also reached the top, the second time for Dhan Magar. - Luc Villaume and Bikram reach the altitude of 7000m; bad weather arrives and Luke turns back. - Abdelak Medallel, not very fit in the morning, leaves camp with Rajan, then quickly turns around. - Vero Barrat, roped with Denis will have vision problems after the first steep slope. - Grobel with Charlie Dubois, after the steep slopes of departure, cross the pass to go up high enough the big hill. They stop at 6800m just before the sun finally warms them. The conditions: wind + cold + length of effort is too difficult for they quietly return to camp. |
