| Failure!! To even really get onto the mountain! Our guide was disappointed, our porters were happy. It was our only window of opportunity as far as time and money go but it was way too early in the season - it snowed and snowed and on the way to our b.c. there was powder snow up to my waist. We saw an avalanche big enough to swallow a small city heading towards where we would be in a few hours...at which time it we called it a day. Annapurna and MP base camps were deserted. I experienced the coldest conditions I ever have, a consequence of which was terrible dehydration and not a single photograph to remember the experience by. 2 digital cameras rendered useless. | |

| julien | Is there a safe route nowadays? Date Climbed: May 2, 2008 | |
| Tried to reach the summit but a safe route is really complicated to locate. Too many crevasses at around 5300 meters high. There might be a way up but I couldn't find it. All teams have turned back this season due to heavy snow and impossibility to find a way through the plateau located at the base of the mountain. Anyway, the climb from the Annapurna base camp to the Tharpu Chuli High camp is fantastic. | |

| Only had one day to climb due to my girlfriend's illness several days before. But we went to 4900m, and there below Tharpu Chuli I proposed to her (bought the ring in Kathmandu), and she accepted. Hopefully we will go back and have time to climb again in this fabulous place... | |

| This is a great summit... not a terribly technical climb and you get incredible views of Machhapuchare, Annapurna, and a bunch of others. Watch your step, though - I dropped my sunscreen here and it was last seen heading toward China at a great rate of speed! | |
