Annapurna 2005: Moving Up!

Update: Day 36 – 24th of April

Good Morning, This is mBank Lotto Annapurna South Face Expedition. Today after six days of intensive work Me, Piotr Morawski and Marcin Miotk have returned to BC. We put 500 m of fix ropes on the way to Camp II. If the weather is good, I think that we will need about two days to finish our work and to settle the Camp II. We have enough equipment, ropes etc. to reach the major difficulties on the way to summit. Tomorrow we will analyze the pictures and we will decide where to settle the Camp II, but we will see how it looks like when we will climb near the serac. The weather changed and it is warmer and more wet, it is raining sometimes in the BC. The snow, which we found here on the beginning, disappeared. Everybody feels good....Good by, till the next call...Piotr Pustelnik

Piotr Pustelnik will lead a group of veteran climbers to attempt to summit Annapurna in Spring 2005. After Annapurna he is considering Broad Peak "via normale but I still think about this unclimbed ridge starting near Concordia." We have covered Piotr numerous times including Annapurna 2004. Piotr Pustelnik, with his Summit of Kangchenjunga has joined an elite group in the goal to reach the True Summits of the 14 8000 meter peaks.  Below is a short biography of Piotr Pustelnik
