Anita Devi, Ken Noguchi & Jun Hiraga, and Dirk Grunert shared a permit, but climbed separately.


Report from Dirk Grunert:

BC 13/09 4800m
C1 16/09 5650m
C2 21/09 6300m
C3 25/09 6800m
C4 26/09 7400m
Hpt 27/09 7800m

Grunert turned around at 7800m, not a difficult path, but at 7800m started to feel dizzy. Stopped, waited for a moment, then continued. After a few minutes, started to feel dizzy again. Stopped, waited, started a third time, then realized something was wrong and turned back. Thought he had altitude sickness, went to C4 same day, waited a few hours in tent, packed stuff, headed to C2.

Grunert left C4 9-10 am, not sure what time he turned back, but knows it was 7800m. Weather was okay, very dark, when he came down it was sunny, but windy. From high point, went down to C2 to sleep. Next day went down to C1, down to base camp. Got to base camp 28/09. Left BC on 29/09.

Sherpa: None
Oxygen: Not taken, not used.
