The 1950 French Annapurna expedition, led by Maurice Herzog, reached the summit of Annapurna I at 8,091 metres (26,545 ft), the highest peak in the Annapurna Massif.The mountain is in Nepal and the government had given permission for the expedition, the first time it had permitted mountaineering in over a century. [94] On 6 July the climbers went on to Delhi to wait there while Herzog and a select group including two sherpas travelled to Kathmandu to be received on 11 July by the Maharajah of Nepal who greeted them as national heroes. The dim backlight seems blinding in the dark night. The actual summit might have been more difficult to find had we not had two sherpa with us who had been there (Pema, twice) and my GPS fix to follow. It worked brilliantly.

[34], With everyone back in Tukusha and with poor prospects of attaining either summit from the east, west or south, Herzog acted on the advice of a Buddhist lama that they should travel towards Muktinath on a route to the north and then east. [82][83] Descending with the storm still raging they could not find Camp IVA anywhere and they were desperate to avoid a bivouac out in the open. They also found that, despite rumours that several mountaineers had been seriously injured, their wives waiting anxiously at home were told nothing by Devies because of the exclusive publication contract with Le Figaro and Paris Match. These are Annapurna I (8,091m/ 26,545 ft), Annapurna I Central Peak (8,051m/ 26,414 ft) and Annapurna I East Peak (8,013m/ 26,289 ft). [133] Françoise had persuaded him not to write about Annapurna during his lifetime because it would come across as too bitter so Ballu had interviewed him with a view to an eventual biography. [119] Herzog told of a happy team, all pulling together although at times Lachenal could be impetuous. Terray's book gives a historical background to the expedition and Nepal, has more to say on the details of the climb, and has far less dialogue than Herzog. He said Herzog's brother had helped Lachenal because he was incapable of writing, that Lachenal was very happy with the rewrite and that Lachenal's son had made up the story about the draft being distorted.
In 1970 Henry Day took part in an expedition ascending using much the same route and they were able to take photographs with very similar perspectives. [157], The 1998 publication of Herzog's L'autre Annapurna again stirred up the press. I have processed some of the 360° video I have in to interactive mode but uploading it over the limited bandwidth to the Facebook interactive viewer from Pokhara isn’t going well. Herzog is commended as being as good as the professional guides for his stamina and technique, but, less agreeably for Herzog and Devies, he characterised the descent from the summit as a "débandade" (disorderly retreat) beside which on the typescript Devies jotted down "But no" and Maurice Herzog "Is this the place to say so?". We caught them in just over an hour. What did they do?" Author: Climbing Staff Updated: Apr 18, 2019 Original: Jan 9, 2018. It later emerged that Rébuffat succeeded in covertly bringing back the film used by Lachenal and he developed it before returning all the photographs but one to Ichac. His dream had been right. The expedition had been unable even to see Annapurna from the north, let alone discover a route to it. [86], At Camp II Oudot, the physician, injected Herzog and Lachenal to help improve their blood flow. The Spanish had left lower C4 at around 7pm and had made it just past our camp.
