| Route Notes | Meremans, Nijs and Sonam went up to C1 on 13 Oct. They reached 5600m and could nt find suitable campsite. The normal C1 site was full of powder snow, windy and it was dangerous to pitch camp at that place. The climbers and Sherpa went down to Dhampus BC same day. Sherpa: Sonam Tshering Sherpa, (11/5/2045) 27/8/89, Hatiya-1, Manaslu 2011 (aka Sonam Chhiring Lama) |
