The Italian expedition to Annapurna III led by Francesco Santon with Renato Cepparo as deputy leader. The team climbed the west ridge, abandoning the idea of the originally proposed southwest pillar at Base Camp because they decided that this route would take too long. From Camp V Giuseppina Cheney, Luigino Henry and Pasang Temba Sherpa reached the summit on October 23. On October 25 Giorgio Brianzi and Piero Radin also reached the summit. Whilst descending from the summit, between Camps V and IV, late in the evening, the first summit group had an accident. Apparently Henry had belayed two members and two Sherpas and as he was coiling the rope, he slipped and fell 1000 feet into a crevasse and was killed.Climbing locations
