| Route Notes | Biv south of SW Ridge Biv before start of SE Face Biv on East Ridge High point at 6600m on East Ridge. Stopped at 6600m, 2 big seracs and great danger, so down SE Face to left (west) of East Ridge and same day (3 May) to Thyangboche. One day more to summit from 6600m, but too dangerous. Had hoped they were making new route; knew nothing about Russians in spring 1994 until today. |
