The plan above include only Altin, Yolanda and Marco. Mattias and Maria arrived a few days before and had done an
long acclimatization trip and they sometimes choose to sleep at higher altitudes during the acclimatization/climb.
The original plan included Gumachi Summit. A few weeks ago a huge avalanche of stones and gravel on the north side of
Gumachi made the glacier below instable. This made it risky to walk and only guides with a lot of experince should
be used to walk at the glacier to make it possible to reach the summit. The cost for a guide is 200 Euro, to much
according to us. That's why we did'nt choose to go to Gumachi.
