Makalu 2002: International Expedition lead by Piotr Pustelnik

Update 5/22/2002: They are going back, to Kathmandu. Piotr Pustelnik, Martin Gablik and Gonzalo Velez all reached the Summit. Anna Czerwinska didn't try reach the summit, she stayed at camp 3. Ryszard Pawlowski didn't try reach the summit because he was sick ("reason of disease of larynx.") Darek Zaluski and Jay Sieger turned back at 8300 meters because people coming down told them it was too late... Jay had some problems going down, but he is OK now. 

We will get a full report later for you with much detail...
