Route Notes	Both team members admitted they were not skilled enough climbers. So, when they saw that the final part of the ascent from the BC, meaning the summit ridge cornice with 2 crevasses and not equipped with fixed rope above 6800m, they just didn't dare to climb. Xavis Aladel went 50m below C1 in a day trip from BC on the 30th of October (up to 6150m) Patrick Legendre stopped at the beginning of the glacier (around 5800m) the same day. Sherpa: Ang Gelu Sherpa, Surke, Solu, 23/7/1970, Everest X2, Cho Oyu
