| Route Notes | Team left C2 at 4 am on 20 Oct, summited at 10:30 am, stayed 20-30 minutes, then down to C1 at 6:30 pm. The route was drier then normal. All the fixed rope was static and 10mm or greater which was great. However, many anchors need to be replaced and C1 and C2 need toilets installed. Climbers have contaminated both camps with human waste. |
