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. This Autumn this extremely experienced and strong team
organized by Focus expedition look to repeat this route again.

Update 10/3/02:
This morning the team left base camp as the weather forecast says
that till 6 October will be good so they want to take advantage of
the next few days to put CII at 6400m and CIII at 7200m. There still
lots of snow on their way so there will be lots of work for them to
be able to reach their aim.
