| Route Notes | The two Hungarian climbers started their summit push on 21 May from C4. Gal left at 3 am and Eross at 5 am. Gal got to the top at 4 pm, stayed on summit for about an hour and returned to C4 at 7 pm. Eross reached summit at 5 pm stayed on summit for 15 minutes then descended to C4 at 9 pm. Earlier Mecs too started from C4 at 4 am. When he got to 7900m around 4:30 am, he vomitted and could not drink water. So he turned around to C4 then continued to C2 with Horvath. The summit members Zsolt Eross and Laszlo Gal spent night at C4 and next day to BC. Lajos Kollar remained at BC. The summit day weather was nice, no wind, sunny but morning was cold. |
