The view looking south from Chhoila La towards Putha Hiunchuli in the Dhaulagiri Himal. (Adam Angel)
We received a great phone call from Mike on the summit of Putha Hiunchuli last night. The Team had a great climb! Mike said the route was straight forward and the Team did a great job climbing through knee deep snow near the top. A special thanks to the Sherpa who worked so hard at camp and breaking trail.
The team descended from the summit to Camp 1 where they took a good break before coming all the way back to Base Camp. That is a long day of climbing and the Team will sleep well tonight! The plan will be to pack up camp and head towards KTM.
Congratulations to the Putha Hiunchuli Team!
