| Route Notes | From BC climbed towards East ridge (NE Ridge of East Summit in Chamlang sketch map), towards "g" of Chamlang on Schneider Khumbu map. Worked three days on North Face to reach ridge. Then stopped because of falling seracs, cold and wind. Genereau was not good enough at climbing to go to West Col, so camped below it on West side; this left only two members, no Sherpas to carry 3.5 kg loads. If came again to this route, would be with more climbers. |
