Talked to office in Kathmandu today, and they've got bekjed that everything is fine with the three. The group came to camp 2 yesterday and had to stay there because it came so much snow. Today they supposedly come to camp 1, and during the evening or early morning they come back to BC.

Just got told that the top of Manaslu is reached! It happened in the morning hours today, and all three are fine. They now rest in camp 4 (7459moh), and the plan is to come back to BC tomorrow. Coming back with more info during the day if I get further contact.

24.september
It has been very difficult with communication from Manaslu. Got today notified by the office in Kathmandu that everything is fine with the three. The overnight now camp2 (6400m), and they are supposedly well acclimatized already. Weather permitting, they will try their hand at the top tomorrow. Exciting! If this is not possible, then the original plan that they go down to BC and waiting for a weather window.

16.september
Now the whole expedition with Nima Gombu Sherpa spearheaded come to Manaslu BC. They had appeared a couple of good days in Kathmandu, before they flew by helicopter to Samagaon (approximately 3360mon). The next day they went to BC (about 4895moh). Was notified yesterday from Nima that all are in good shape in BC. Tomorrow, on September 17, they shall have the Puja, a Buddhist ceremony. Sherpas are Buddhists, and none of them goes on mountain without first obtaining the blessing as a Puja provides. During Puja incense, a llama asks and it is offered everything from beer to rice and biscuits. It's a long ceremony, which can last several hours. Western participants also tend to witness the ceremony.
