Approach: Manaslu BC classic trail->Sho

BC 23/04 2880m at Sho village
C1 01/05 4600m
C2 02/05 5469m
Smt 03/05 by both members.

Acclimatization done on the route of ascent, up to C1.

The basic route is the same than the 2018 Himalaya Camp Team (Daijo Saito was a member of it), just using this time 2 camps instead of 3. Then the route goes towards the col between Saula and Peak 6199m, ending via the SW Ridge. Thanks to the reconnaissance of 2018, the climb was made possible within a few days. Route is moderately difficult, requiring more stamina.

01 May: Sho village to C1
