| Route Notes | On 23rd Oct 4 members and Ang Dorje left C3 at 8:45-9:00 am, but wind strong and Huetter and Pilz climbed too slowly so turned back to BC. Standacher kept on up to 50m below top and very strong wind made him also descend to BC. Goettfrier much faster than they and went to top with Ang Dorje at about 12:00 noon. Remaining 3 members got stomach trouble in C3 and went down to BC without going up from C3. |
