Summit attempt aborted 5PM

Written by  Himalayan Ascent

Everyone is back at base camp today. Unfortunately, the snow conditions prevented the fixing team from completing the route to the summit. The risk of avalanche is still too high. To protect our climbers and guides, we’ve pulled everyone off the mountain to await better snow and wind conditions.

Although Allan, Mark, Michael, Raul and Stephen will now return without a summit this time, they have at least experienced the technical demanding nature of Ama dablam. In particular, the steep pitch on the Yellow tower and the infamous exposed campsite of Camp 2. Team A were all strong climbers, undoubtably, they would have all reached the summit had conditions been more favourable.
