Our Manaslu Team are safely back at Camp 2 and will descend to Base Camp tomorrow.

The team made the difficult, but wise decision on their summit climb to abandon their attempt due to high winds and very deep snow after successfully reaching Camp 4.

Despite clear and sunny weather the strong wind forecast for later in the week made an unwelcome early arrival and the team reported gusts of 50 miles an hour on the summit plateau.

Our team and the 4 other teams at High Camp who were going for their summit attempt today all turned around.

Such is nature of high altitude mountaineering but wise decisions always triumph summit fever… Manaslu awaits another year.

We couldn’t be happier that they are safe and sound to Camp 2 and below and we’ll update you again when they depart Base Camp for Kathmandu.

Cheers
CTSS Team
