The Manaslu team are back climbing in earnest on their final acclimatization rotation, they moved up to Camp 1 yesterday and today will move up to Camp 2 for the night. The following day the plan is to head as far towards Camp 3 as conditions allow. The previous round of precip laid about a meter of fresh snow on the upper mountain.

Following the Camp 3 tag effort they will drop back to Base Camp to rest ahead of the summit push! It’s exciting times on Manaslu, as by completing this round of acclimatization the team is ready to wait for conditions to settle and a nice weather window for the summit push!

We are hopeful that the weather is starting to dry out a little and marks a changing trend for the team as we narrow in on the summit push.

All on schedule and the team is doing well and moving strongly.

Cheers
CTSS Team
