The
team will climb Manaslu during the pre-monsoon
climbing season of 2002. Using data
gathered from previously successful climbs they
have determined that the optimum time to be
vying for the summit is between May 1st and May
12th, and therefore their proposed itinerary
will place them in summit position beginning May
2nd.
