| Route Notes | BC at normal site C1 just below boulder field. Only 1 tent in C2, most members went from C1 directly to C3; C2 used primarily by Waertl and Sherpa for opening route above C2 with a lot of fixed rope. Franz left expedition 9 Oct, problem of depression (psychological problem). Bucher and Wenger left 20 Oct because unhappy they could not reach top. |
