… Tashi from C3 to summit to C3.
Sherpa:
Nga Tashi, Yaphu-9, 04/10,1980
From Mingma's Facebook page:
We reached Makalu fore summit at 9:03am on 11th May and I reached main summit at 10:18am. My partner Tashi and Jingxue (Chinese) reached at 10:48am after I put the final rope. Rope was not fix to main summit and we had to use our own 60m+20m main rope which we almost left at camp 3 after some people told it was fixed till Summit. Makalu wasn't easy mountain as I used to hear. I felt like it's completely nonsense to say Makalu is one of easy Peak among 8000m.
