This is just a brief update to let you know that I have done it! I summited Manaslu, the 8th highest mountain in the world, without the use of supplementary oxygen!
I will write more and post some pictures once I get back to Kathmandu or Switzerland, where I will be working for the next 4 months.
Thanks again for all your support and I can tell you – I am very happy to have summited an 8,000m peak without oxygen.
Liebe Billi, herzlichen Glückwunsch zu diesem besonderen Gipfelerfolg!! Ich freue mich Dich im April wieder zu sehen, dann musst Du mir unbedingt alles erzählen. Bis dahin sei lieb gegrüßt und geniesse den “after summit blues”! Steffi
Well done Billi!!! Without oxygen too – wow! And I see Chrissie just won ironman too in difficult circumstances… you are both heroines!!!!
Wow! Congrats Billi
Congratulations Billi! Photo looks great – definitely not the worst in the world.
