The Manaslu team are doing great and continuing their trek into BC expecting to arrive the day after tomorrow. They’ve just arrived at Samagau for lunch.

Everyone did really well coming across the high point on the trek –  Larke Pass at 5,100m.

The team are expected into Base Camp the day after tomorrow. News from the peak is that the ropes have already been fixed to Camp 3 which will spread the traffic out which is always welcome news.

Manaslu is the highest peak in the Gorkha District and is located about 64km from Annapurna. The word means ‘Mountain of the Spirit and comes from the Sanskrit ‘Manasa’ meaning ‘soul’ or ‘intellect.

It was first climbed in 1956 by Japanese mountaineers Toshio Imanishi & Gyalzen Norbu.

All going well,

Cheers
CTSS Team
