It was a fantastic sunrise on Annapurna from Annapurna Sanctuary Base Camp. I could clearly see the upper portion of the 1970 British ascent route. “'Hello, Dougal, this is Chris at Camp IV: Did you manage to get out today?' 'Aye, we've just climbed Annapurna'” (Chris Bonington, Annapurna South Face). Don Whillans and Dougal Haston reached the summit of Annapurna on May 27, 1970 at 2 pm.
