Regarding my 2012 Manaslu climb:

- I arrived to BC (4800m) on 11 Sept and left on 2 Oct.
- I set C1 (5750m) on 15 Sept, C2 (6200m) on 20 Sept, C3 (6900m) on 29 Sept
and C4 (7450m) on 30 Sept.
- I reached fore-summit at 10:40 am on 1 Oct. (where I met last 6 people - 2
guided groups of 4 + 2 - descending from the summit) and true top of Manaslu
(end of fixed line - ~2-3m distance from the summit mushroom) at 11:15 am.
- I climbed without oxygen and with no climbing Sherpas. My climbing partners
(Paul Hudson (Australian) and Manuel Morgado (Brazil)) stayed that morning
in C4 for another day and eventually were not able to summit :-(
