| Route Notes | C2 at below the actual C2 site. Pivtsov left C3 at 8 am on 3 Oct, reached summit at 2 pm, stayed on summit about 5 minutes, descended to C3 around 5 pm. Next day to C2 and following day to BC. Weather was perfect, sunny, no wind. Unzniev climbed up to 7900m. Unzniev returned to Kathmandu on 7 Oct by helicopter and left on 8 Oct. Letter to Eberhard Jurgalski from Maxut Zhumayev - 5 Nov 2008 Thanks for your letter. I with you completely agree that the top of Manaslu demands special attention, in particular highest point achievement. In the spring of 2008 I the first in a season have risen on peak of Manaslu. Having reached the first rocky tops, I have continued movement on a crest towards distant rocky top. Spring of 2008 at top was not enough snow that has increased danger at achievement of the highest point. I apply 2 photos: one of under tops with a flag and the second a kind on top from rocky top about the main top. The similar situation has occurred to my friend Vasilly Pivtsov. I apply 4 photos made Vasilly at an ascension on top of Manaslu. |
