| Route Notes | Team left BC at 10 am on 19 Oct and arrived at C1 at 3 pm. Weather started off nice but deteriorated and it started snowing in afternoon. On 20 Oct it was cloudy and when they realized that weather was not going to improve, they descended to BC and left the next day. Another problem was that the mountain had not been fixed. |
