Colibășanu, together with Marius Gane and Peter Hamor, had planned for this year’s spring to climb the north-west ridge of Mount Dhaulagiri. But could continue no further, for lack of good weather, necessary for high altitude ascents.https://t.co/mgl6Vk2Ptu

[Horia Colibasanu @HColibasanu]

Windy weather on the ridge and no good forecast. Horia, Marius and Peter attempt for the final ascent has not been successful. After all their hard work, with weather conditions against all their plans, they decided to turn back in the base camp and to plan the way back home.

[Horia Colibasanu @HColibasanu]

Just one chance for the summit! Horia Colibășanu and his team mates are waiting for favourable weather to start climbing to the summit. The three mountaineers are prepping for 5 days of hard work, entailing the climb to the summit and return to basecamp.

Good news from Himalaya! Horia and his team arrived in the Dhaulagiri Italian basecamp, at 3600m. They are tired after five long days of trekking, but with big enthusiasm for exploring higher routes. After they receive the luggages, the team will continue to ascend. #Himalaya2019

“Opening a new route in the Himalayas is an older project, which we have attempted to accomplish several times. I believe in this year’s success, because my expedition mates, Marius Gane and Peter Hámor, are also eager to take on such a project”. https://t.co/BcjDEbJE5I

[Horia Colibasanu @HColibasanu]

Horia and Peter have announced that they have to abort this year's expedition. They have chosen to return home safely, not daring to advance through an avalanche of ice slabs. The particular project they had planned remains a challenge for the future. https://t.co/uaCESvHFY3
