Route Notes From http://amadablam2014.blogspot.com: TUESDAY, 25 NOVEMBER 2014 A Tough Call Posted by John Mason at 05:36 John and Rem went up to camp 1 with a view to getting on the mountain to have a closer look at the Serac. Camp 1 was all but empty so there was plenty of choice for tents to sleep in. A view over the ridge to the main base camp showed that most of the expeditions had packed up and gone home. The decision was made to get on the route but not to go for the summit. The serac could go at anytime, and the route is in the firing line for a couple of hours, with no real opportunity to get out of the way. It was a tough call but they decided not to go for it.
