Route Notes Team Honda Larkya Expedition 2011 - 28 March 7 & 16 May 2011 Konishi arrived in Nepal on 27 March, but the other two members had already come to Kathmandu and gone to trek into the Larkya area in Manaslu's region. Konishi flew to Lukla on 30 March to trek in Khumbu, returned to Kathmandu on 16 Arpil and took a helicopter to Samagaon, below Manaslu BC, on the 18th and from there went to climb the mountain. Konishi went up to BC at 4800m on 22 April and six days later to C1 at 5800m. He climbed to C2 at 6400m on 29 April as part of his acclimatization program, then descended to BC the next day. He now was "not in good condition" because of an old back problem. His attempt on Manaslu was over. He left BC on 9 May, returned to Kathmandu on the 14th and planned to leave Nepal on 18 May. The other two members, Nakajima and Okuda, remained on the mountain. They reported their C2, which they occupied on 26 April, was at 6300m, and they put C3 at 6800m on the 27th during their acclimatization. They returned to C3 on 7 May for their summit push and left it at midnight of 7/8 May for the top. They reached 7400m at 6 am on the 8th, but there was a strong wind and they retreated to BC, where they arrived at 6:30 pm. The two climbers left BC on 13 May for another summit try. They went up to C1 on the 13th and to C3 on the 14th. At 5:00 am on the 15th they set out from C3. At 6:30 am they reached 7100m, but then decided to give up. All the fixed ropes were buried under the snow, and few other people remained on the mountain. So they were back in BC at 1:00 pm on 15 May, and their climb was finished. Nakajima had an incipient case of cerebral edema with headache and vomiting, but "it was not much of a problem," he said.
