Kobler team set off for the summit from C2 on 29/10 at 12:30 am. Stalder, Fresard, Sany and Loretz reached the highpoint of 6700m at 4:30 am and turned around because of the cold and strong wind. Everyone back to BC the same day at 3:30 pm. Team left BC on 31/10. Oxygen: Not taken, not used.

Everyone is healthy and sound. Unfortunately, it didn't work out with the summit of the Himalang Himal (712 m) due to the conditions. Lots of fresh snow, low temperatures and wind: these are not optimal conditions for climbing a 7000er. Every mountaineer knows that "turning around" is often the most difficult decision and that there is no guarantee of the summit. The path is the goal. We congratulate our team on the way to ca. 6700m. For one guest or the other, this was certainly the highest point in life. We hope that everyone will remember the spectacular trekking expedition.
