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 10/8/02:
Silvio just phoned, bad news. It's 2 days that has been snowing at
the base camp so their program to go up at the moment is gone. They
still hope that the weather will change in better even if they can't
imagine how will be the condition of the way. The weather forecast
is not heartening for all the member of the expedition as till 10th
of October there will be not any improvement. We will wait and see
what's will be happen in the next few days.....
Update
10/15/2002: Gnaro and Kobi left base camp last Friday ....
The other members waited till yesterday but they decided to go back
again. The condition of the mountain are impossible, to much snow
and still bad weather.... |
