  Zsolt Eross Summits Dhaulagiri


On the 24th of May Zsolt Eross, Laszlo Mecs, Gabor Babcsan and Anita Ugyan went up to C1 and on the 25th to C2. The very same night Eross, Mecs and Ugyan went up towards to C3 (7200 m) with the intention to go all the way to the summit. They reached the location of C3 only in the morning due to deep snow conditions. At C3 they had no tents and the team didn’t bring any cooking ware with themselves since this was their summit bid. Unfortunately their process during the night was much slower than they expected it. Due to these circumstances Mecs and Ugyan turned back, but Eross stayed for the day and waited for the snow to freeze. He started his summit bid on the 26th at 9 pm. Next day (27th of May) at 11:21 am Zsolt Eross reached the summit of Dhaulagiri and by 5 pm (after 20 hours continuous climb) he was safely down at C2.

The whole team arrived home to Budapest safe and sound on the 8th of June.

Expedition leader: Lajos Kollár

Expedition members: Zsolt Erőss, Anita Ugyan (f), Gábor Babcsán, László Mécs and Szabolcs Szendrő.
