Annapurna is the deadliest 8,000m peak - killing ROUGHLY ⅓ of it’s climbers.

It’s danger lies in its unpredictability. Avalanches and whiteouts frequently deny even the most experienced climbers.
Mingma G Sherpa & Team Climbing Annapurna, 2021
After flying into basecamp, HIMALI athlete and owner Mingma G Sherpa and the Imagine Nepal* team began to acclimate, set up camps, and fix ropes up the mountain. They started their climb early in the spring season; and although this is when the snowpack tends to be more stable, avalanches still caused climbers to temporarily turn back to reassess the conditions. Significant cloud cover also added in some unplanned rest days.
