Route Notes	BC at 4840m (by helicopter KTM/Samagaon 2 April with Ochao) Colibasanu always climbed up mountain with Ochoa. 29 April Colibasanu to top with Ochoa and Egocheaga and roped to them. Dunca to C1 on 27 April, 28 April to C2B. Dunca 28/29th alone in summit bid; reached 8012m at 9:30 am 29th; now scared because alone, not a climber and never before above 2400m. Dunca left plateau (7400m) at 5:00 am and at his high point at 4:30 am and turned back because scared by being alone; at 1:30 pm in C2B, in BC 21:00 hours. Had put crampons on for first time in his life 21 April. At 5:00 am at plateau (7400m) and now could see where he had climbed at night, was astonished at what he had done in dark, even without proper ice tools. Dunca was Colibasanu's backer and in return for financial support, Dunca told Colibasanu that he had to go on the climb too. Ochoa - Dunca reached 7600m only, not 8012m, according to Ochoa's calculations.
