C2 at North Col
High point at NNW Ridge.

2 meters snow at BC throughout climbing period. Highest point 7500m reached 27 Jan. Tried 4 times to go up from C2 and on 4th attempt got to 7500m. Wind and cold stopped progress each time, not snow. 1st 2 attempts by all 3 remaining climbers, last 2 attempts by Inurrategi's only.

When will they return to Manaslu? Don't know, don't like this mountain: route is boring and dangerous especially between C1 and C2 from avalanching. Big serac avalanche swept near them while having breakfast at C1 but no one hurt.
