"We climbed in a single push, with no fixed lines or pre-established camps. And for such a big route, for us, it was a real challenge full of entropy and the unknown. We haven’t written this anywhere yet, but we thought of naming the route Patience, of course you understand why. Also, we want this line to be a kind of a tribute for David Lama and Hansjörg Auer, who unfortunately passed away, and whose vision and attempt for Annapurna III in 2016 become an inspiration for many climbers, ourselves included.

Here an excerpt:![]()
"It's difficult to give a summary of such a big route. It starts at 4600, so 2950 m of elevation. Lower part is more or less moderate with sections of difficult mixed and lots of vertical snow and difficult ridges without protection, after 6000 until 7000-7100 the technical crux is. It's a mixture of vertical rock, hard mixed, ice and super steep snow ridges. After it SE ridge connects to S ridge and there are easier snow slopes and ridges up to the summit at 7555. Difficulty on the route was up to M6, 6a, aid A3, ice 80' and snow 90'.[..]"![]()
