From Valery’s and Viktor’s SMS:

“We decided to end an expedition to Annapurna. An explanation for that are the weather conditions, there was a lot of snow this year.

For that reason, it becomes dangerous to climb Annapurna from the North and West sides. Therefore, such conditions also do not allow us to get a full and proper acclimatization for a serious climb.”
