At 8 AM we announce our descent. No chance to go on. Even the descent is a real fight. Wind, high snow, avalanches. Now Pepino, Radek and Martin leave for C3 to wait for their chance.
Conditions are the same as the day before.
Gusts of wind are often so strong that the only way is to lay down at fixed ropes and wait - and then hurry a bit higher. Night October 17. to October 18. Cooking, listening to the wind. A second later a new gust comes. They will try to pack the tents and get them to C2.
