Route Notes	BC at normal site Deposit in moraine (rock) Biv2 Biv2 on wall left of cycle. Started from C1 on 19th Sept with small tent and slept that night at 5500m. 20th bived at 6900m directly below E Annapurna summit, a good place, below big seracs with no problem of small avalanches (were on French route). 21st to summit from 6900m at 1:45 pm (left biv at 4:00 am, returned to tent at 6900m at 5:30 pm). Difficult from 2nd biv, difficult ice climbing (because big avalanche had carried all snow away). Had problem of descent and so put fixed rope at places (had total only 650m rope - cut it). 22nd slept in C1 and 23rd to BC (day French member killed by loose piton).
