| Route Notes | Was very cold wind and several members had frostnipped nose and fingers. Above C2 dangerous and difficult to climb in a lot of fresh powdered snow on camp. 5th to 22nd Oct snow conditions were impossible. Winds a problem in last week of climb. Not a problem really with others on route, but not right to give so many permits at price HMG charges. |
