2 members reached 7100m in work to prepare route for Wanda R.; at 7400m was Japanese camp which Poles were permitted to use. On 15th very strong wind, 18-20 degrees cloudy and snowing, so left tent and full range of gear there at 7100m and down to C2 and next day to C1. Then all to BC waiting for Wanda, who was expected to arrive 20 Oct or there after. Malinowski went to Marpha and Jomsom to enquire from KTM about Wanda's whereabouts. Now every afternoon snowing, cloudy and winter temperatures had set in and life at BC difficult. With continuous snowfall feared impossible or very expensive to get porters to evacuate loads via passes. Also getting time to return to Kathmandu to organize winter Manaslu expedition. On 28th Gasienica-Jozkowy to depot and brought it down. Left BC 31 Oct and met Wanda at Marpha. Jedlinski left BC 4 Nov with porters with loads. Wanda and Gasienica-Jozkowy went to BC.

Wanda arrived at BC 7 Nov, day after all had left BC, including BC staff; had had no news of Wanda, who was due to arrive on 20 Oct and if had not evacuated equipment then, all would have been lost because one week later porters could not cross passes. One member had expected to go back with her to Dhaulagiri: she met party at Marpha on 2nd and took time to organize return to BC. After arrived at BC, on 8th snow began following and continued with heavy snowfall on 10th, and would jeopardize Manaslu and left BC 11 Nov, reached Marpha only on 14th with 3 bivs.
