Route Notes C3 above mushroom High point at C3. Above C3 difficult with snowfall every afternoon and wind work on mountain dry from winter, now loose snow on rock and ice covered rock. Not above C3 and after one night in C3, went down and climb finished. Best climbers Gonzalez and Lopez now very tired and not enjoyable waiting for ropes to be fixed (needed ropes because carrying paragliders up, very heavy). Blue ice on ridge above C3.
