Route Notes Other members turned back on 24th at 6500m because of strong winds; then Bahadur managed to reach summit and has only very slight frostbite. Much new snow in not good condition made climb difficult and old rope deeply buried. So many expeditions on same route at same time not good. No place at BC for tents, no place on sharp ridge, have to wait for others to go up and thus for acclimatization too little time.
