They are now back at ABC. The rest of the team moved up to the top camp on the 23rd May and set out for their summit bid last night at 20:30hrs local time. With a monumental effort Nick reached 8500m and decided to head down with Persemba. They are now at ABC. Di, Kirsty, Paula and the rest of the Sherpas pushed on up reaching the summit at 05:00hrs this morning. After a very long descent they are now at the North Col tired, but ecstatic. They will descend to ABC tomorrow and back to BC the day after that. A big well done to all from the AP team in very challenging conditions.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>On Makalu, <a class=\"_64-f\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Nirmal PurjaPurja\/\">Nirmal Purja MBE: &#8220;Project Possible &#8211; 14\/7&#8221;<\/a>\u00a0 now has six 8000ers with Annapurna in late April then Dhaulagiri, Kangchenjunga then Everest and Lhotse now Makalu.<\/p>\n<h2>Five New Deaths<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Himalayan Ski Treks,\u00a0<em>Everest<\/em>:\u00a0<strong>Dhruba Bista<\/strong>, died a EBC after evacuation from C3<\/li>\n<li>Seven Summits Treks, Makalu:\u00a0<strong>Nima Tshering Sherpa<\/strong>, died after summiting at C2<\/li>\n<li>360 Expeditions,\u00a0<em>Everest<\/em>:\u00a0<strong>Kevin Hynes<\/strong>, 56, Irish died at North Col after turning back at 8300m.
