Route Notes BC near BC (normal site). Had many camps because of taking a lot of equipment and slow progress on bare rock (problem for making water with no snow). Ridge is not very difficult but continuously "serious." Rodolfi managed with his one artificial arm up fixed ropes.
Accidents Nothing serious; one man slight frostbite on finger
Achievement 1st summiter with an artificial arm?
