Annapurna SUMMIT PUSH is on
May 29, 2004 14: 53 EST
Call from Annapurna:
"Hi. Last night I had big problem with my stomach and so we decided to continue on the normal route. Now we are in camp IV at 7300 meters and this night at 1 o’clock Denis and I will start for our summit attempt.
Simone”
First off, the Italian/Kazakh combo Denis Urubko and Simone Moro, along with Camos, climbed the North Wall on Baruntse, 7129m. They reached the Kali Himal (Black Summit) of Baruntse, also known as the North Summit at 7014m via a new route up the North Face. The true summit was left untouched due to hard wind. The new line is named "Ciao Patrick" as a tribute to Patrick Berhault, lost to Dom this month. Now, Simone and Denis have moved to Annapurna’s North Face. Denis climbs Anna to honor Boukreev's memory.
