Pasang Norbu Sherpa

Millinger and Woergoetter skied down from 30m vertical below summit to C1; to C5 4:30 pm arrive 19 May and then 20 May to C1 on ski and to BC on foot. Probably 1st continuous ski descent from 8000m.

Saxinger and Horn - 13 May 81 (Group I report)

Horn, Mueller, Loferer, Graf and Zebrowski on summit 9 May
Burtscher with 1st party to 7700m on 6 May, but snow and cloud and returned to C5
Burtscher problem with toes freezing and down on 7 May
Loferer = 61 years oldest in 8000m summit?
All Ok; same frosting only; no accidents
2nd Group to try summit next week.


Van Kaenel - 13 May 81 (Group I report)

1600m fixed rope C4 to C5 to bring up not so strong member.
1st summit team used no oxygen
Group II arrive BC 23 April, plan to summit 16-22 May
Loferer: (probably oldest to top of over 8000m)

"So nice and very hard," but not most difficult of his life (more difficult in Alps). Altitude makes it difficult on Manaslu. Worst part on Manaslu was in C5 because 2 nights at that altitude: not using oxygen for sleeping but only above C5. No other 8000m peak for him unless Von Kaenel leader.

1st party up nearly 300m from C5 on 6 May [first attempt]. 7 May down to C4 and C3 after summit [1st party tried again and summited on May 7].

2nd party in C5 7 May evening. 8 May bad weather = storm of snow and wind and no attempt to go up. They stayed at C5 without use of oxygen; difficult for Loferer.

Camp dates and altitudes of ministry correct except BC at 3850m
