| Route Notes | C1 at West Col High point on SE Ridge. After C2 came down to BC on 23 and occupied C2 on 26th in summit push. Stopped when saw ridge was very steep sharp and dangerous for such a large group. Lot of wind on ridge; if wanted to finish ridge it would have taken 4-5 more days and technical materials not taken to mountain. Crossed Amphu Lapcha 30 Oct. |
