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 10/17/02:
Hi EverestNews.com, The last members of the expedition to Annapurna,
Carlos Pauner and Mario Merelli have decided to leave. During the
last weeks, the snowed ones have been persistent. The last week
Silvio Mondinelli, Kobi, Abele Blanc and K. Kutner left the base
camp. Mario and Carlos decided to wait. They hoped that the weather
conditions improved. Tuesday again tried to continue the ascent.
They found great amount of snow, which makes the route very
dangerous. They gathered the material that they have by the route
and returned to the Base Camp. I send you some photos. Thank you
very much. Best regards, Mila
