Route Notes C1 at normal site C2 on SW Ridge (little space for tents) C3 below normal site, below serac High point on SW Ridge above serac at start of snow slope. Bad weather after C1 so stayed in BC in C3 below normal site by 100m because of strong wind. Went one hundred meters above C3 and back because strong wind and cold; tried again for top on 26 April but no success. Perhaps went up for top too early in morning. 26th got to 6300m but more technical climb above it was difficult in wind and cold again. No food in C2 and C3 so down to C2 and climb finished.
