Can it be that he isnt on the main route but is trying a different route? Seemed like going to C2 was just messing around to get some acclimatisation in ... Though not the ideal place to mess lol

Good job by Don on not pushing up in ridiculous conditions and dying, and coming home. I can't understand why anyone would want to climb that route.
From ExWeb:
"Annapurna is folding, all remaining climbers (Tunc, Don, Badia etc) are safe and headed home."
