Route Notes Had only 3 tents so all could not go up together so went in 2 parties; 1st (13th) group to top from C1 at 5800m, 2nd group (15th) slept at 5800m on 13th, 14th slept at 6400m having moved tent from 5800m because Engel had headache & went to top from there. Malingambi not enough experience in high altitudes. Niederfrieden up to C1 several times, but he too not experienced at altitude and did not expect to summit.
