After two venturesome attempts to reach C3 on Annapurna’s north side, Ehsan partovi-Nia returned back to BC on Fridays’ night, April 23^rd.
His contact in Iran, Amir Moghimi said: "Ehsan left C2 alone toward C3 on Thursday, while the upper portions of the mountain were accumulated with considerable amount of fresh snow. Suddenly a Serac broken above caused a big avalanche nearby, while he had stopped for a short rest midway. Afterwards, he decided to descend. In the way down to C2 while he was filming, Ehsan checks the second danger by getting trapped in a crevasse."
The next day, he took the trail to C3 along with South Korean, Miss Oh Eun-Sun and her escorts. They were going up in a couloir that an avalanche came down and sent him a few hundred meters below.
"By fortune, these three events didn"t cause serious injuries to him, except a little contusion and now he is resting in BC," Amir Told.
