Manaslu Expedition 5/15/2003
Unstable weather: Today Jozef Gozdzik, Krzysztof
Tarasewicz and Dariusz Zaluski reached 7200m but were
forced to retreat by very strong winds. They managed
to put a gear deposit, which might prove helpful for
the next parties.
All
the expedition members are now in American camp II,
situated about 20 minutes down from the Polish camp
III.
Tomorrow Piotr Pustelnik, Krzysztof Tarasewicz, Anna
Czerwinska and Barbara Drousek will try to push
forward.
The
weather is very unstable. Piotr Klepacz, expeditions
doctor reports:
on
this mountain, there are moments when we have all four
seasons in just one hour
