Safe at base camp 4pm

Written by  Himalayan Ascent

A sad turn of events today had our team making a quiet descent to Manaslu base camp from Camp 2 where they were for the night. An avalanche occurred early before 5am this morning which wiped out Camp 3.

The slide also partly affected Camp 2 and the team woke up finding themselves snowed in. Lapka and Angkaji immediately informed base camp, and assisted in rescue efforts. Chris and Anders are fine. Rescue efforts still continue.

We are still unsure how many friends we have lost due to this act of nature. The team will rest in base camp and assist where they can for the next few days.
