Route Notes	Giovannini & Meraldi left C3 at 2:30 am. Weather was good, not cold and it was clear. At about 8000m Meraldi decided to turn back as he felt too tired. He thinks he had lost all his energy on Pumori. It was about 11 am when he turned back to C3, where he arrived at 1 pm. Giovannini carried on to the summit. Good views. He descended to C3 where he arrived at 4 pm. They descended to BC on 25 May.
