| Route Notes | BC west of small lake west of West Col C1 southwest of Col High point just before Col. Did not actually reach Col because steep blue ice and spoke with Italian teams who reported too much snow above, so returned 29th to sleep in C1 and climb finished because "this is a holiday" too many problems; also not much time. |
