Annapurna Autumn
2002 East Ridge
An International expedition consisting
of Abele Blanc (13*8000 meters), Silvio Mondinelli, Mario Merelli,
Christian Kuntner, Kobi Reichen and Carlos Pauner is attempted to
repeat the route that Jean-Christophe
Lafaille and Alberto
Inurrategui achieved in Spring Annapurna 2002. This route was first achieved
of course by the great climbing legends Ehardt Loretan and Norbert
Joos. Only these four legends of climbing has achieved the Annapurna Summit
via this route with Ehardt Loretan and Norbert
Joos descending via the North side, and Jean-Christophe Lafaille and
Alberto
Inurrategui. This Autumn this extremely experienced and strong team
organized by Focus expedition look to repeat this route again.

Update: 9/28/02: Annapurna Autumn
International Expedition: Yesterday (9/28/02) all the members left
BC as the weather finally became good. Their intention is to spend 4
days up and put CI, CII, CIII in place and spend one night at each camp so
they can adjust to the altitude. They are all fine. In the last
two days lots of avalanche come down from the mountain (caused by
the large amount of snow), this is good so they hope the way will be clear
for the final rush.... |
