Simone Moro and Pemba Gelje Sherpa have been evacuated from Manaslu. The massive snowfall of previous days has triggered a barrage of avalanches when the sun finally came out today. It will take at least two or three weeks of sunshine, according to Moro, to clean off the six metres of fresh snow clinging dangerously to the slopes. The good weather will last nowhere near that long before more snow falls.
