Route Notes Wolf and Chuldim went up to 6300m on 25 April to see the condition of climbing route. They found that further up beyond 6300m is was not possible to climb as there was not enough snow and big stones were falling. Wolf went down to BC and had discussion about the route condition with members. On 28 April Bettinelli, Weber and Zepf went to 6300m with Wolf. The team members saw the route condition and decided to abandon climbing and descended to BC. The team returned Kathmandu on 14 May. Bettinelli will leave on 15, Weber and Zepf on 16 and Wolf on 17 May. Sherpa: Chuldim Sherpa, 23/7/64 (8/4/2021), Khumjung
