He posted:<\/p>\n Tomorrow me and my team are set to leave for Camp 2 in order to check our tent and equipments that we had left there for our summit cycle. Some damage and disruption is expected, as we had unsettling weather conditions for the last few days. There had been hurricane force wind of upto 120km\/hr.<\/p>\n Members from other teams have also used our tent due to a limited space. It was last reported 10 days ago that our tent was not fully secured and we have been at the basecamp since then. Therefore, prior to making further progress, we need to get there, assess the situation and ensure everything is set for the prominent push later.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Nirmal Purja teams consist of Mingma David, Dawa Temba Sherpa, Pemchhiri Sherpa, Gelje Sherpa, Mingma Tenzi Sherpa, and Sandro Gromen-Hayes. Seven Summits Trek’s<\/a> commercial team at K2 Base Camp. Expect a rush by over 20 climbers in the next several days to overnight at Camp 2, at a minimum for their final acclimatization rotation. Expect some issues with tent space, especially at C1. They will need to coordinate with the other teams otherwise there will be 50 to 60 people trying to squeeze into spots that can accommodate only 10 to 15. But the leaders know this and should be able to manage with good communications.<\/p>\n Zolt\u00e1n Szlank\u00f3<\/a> and Alex Goldfarb<\/a> are now at base camp according to their Pakistani logistics company, Jasmine Tours Pakistan.<\/a><\/p>\n USA Hungarian Broad Peak Winter Expedition Alex Goldfarb and Zolt\u00e1n Szlank\u00f3 finally reached base camp this expedition is organize in Pakistan by Asghar Ali Porik Jasmine Tours Pakistan.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n More details with attribution:<\/p>\n Over 3 feet of new snow is being reported around Manaslu Base Camp.

Another beautiful trekking day, the landscape is spectacular. We have passed areas with wild monkeys … very close at all times to the Budah Gandaki river. We have barely seen the sun. The canyon is really narrow. Now we are going to enjoy the sunset and rest a little bit to continue tomorrow on our way to Manaslu base camp.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Tenji Sherpa<\/a> and Vinayak Jaya Malla<\/a>, both Nepali internationally certified mountain guides (IFMGA) are also on Manaslu.
