Yamanoi (Japanese) climbed before Sim to top and Sim had seen him on 6th climbing on face while Sim climbed ridge. Next summit bid on 9th from C3 but stopped 100m above C3 by strong wind; 3rd summit party to top on 11th with Dawa showing them the route. Only 200m rope fixed by this expedition but used autumn expedition's rope.
