<\/a>\u201cGoodbye, dear Manaslu,\u201d writes Simone Moro in his Instagram story today<\/a>. \u201cI can\u2019t wait much more than some weeks and I don\u2019t want to change my style to be welcome one day on your summit .\u201d Two days ago<\/a>, Simone had already announced that it was time to abandon the expedition: \u201cThe weather didn\u2019t play in our favor and for the next two weeks on Manaslu there will be winds up to 150 km\/h which makes it impossible for an alpine style summit push.\u201d<\/p>\n The Italian had wanted to climb the eighth-highest mountain in the world together with the Nepalese Nima Rinji Sherpa<\/a> and the Pole Oswald Rodrigo Peirera<\/a> in one push, without bottled oxygen, without fixed high camps and without the support of high porters. So for the time being, the fact remains: never has an eight-thousander been summited in winter in alpine style.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The winter expedition on the eight-thousander Annapurna I, not far from Manaslu, has also come to an end. The main reason given by the Pakistani Sajid Ali Sadpara for abandoning the expedition was that the Spaniard Alex Txikon, the initiator of the expedition, had to undergo an operation for acute appendicitis and give up the project.<\/p>\n \u201cWith our leader and winter specialist unable to continue, we made the collective decision to call off the expedition,\u201d Sajid wrote on Instragram<\/a>. \u201cWe had completed rotations, and our incredible Sherpa brothers had fixed the ropes high on the mountain. But climbing isn\u2019t just about summits \u2013 it\u2019s about the safety and camaraderie of your team.\u201d<\/p>\n Previously, as reported<\/a>, the German mountaineer Jost Kobusch had also abandoned his solo winter expedition on Mount Everest early. This leaves only the commercial team of the operator Makalu Adventure, which \u2013 with the Iranian client Abolfazl Gozali<\/a> \u2013 is attempting Makalu, the fifth highest mountain on earth: in conventional expedition style and with bottled oxygen. According to the company<\/a>, expedition leader Sanu Sherpa<\/a> announced that the team had reached Camp 3 at 7,400 meters yesterday, but had then descended again due to the strong winds. They now want to wait at base camp until the gusts subside.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nNot without Alex<\/h2>\n
