Route Notes BC at Nanta Khola C1 at glacier north of Khumjung Himal C2 at Chivv's NE Ridge just south of col at 6138m. From C2 went to Chivv's summit on 18th Sept via its NE Ridge. Very easy climb except first 200m above Col (60-70 degree snow ridge) and final 200m of rope here. Slept 18th night in C2. 18th Kota had stayed in C2 with headache but joined Chivv summiters in climb to Saribung's summit on 19th and all slept in C1 that night. 20th to BC. Fixed 700m total on Chivv and 300m on Saribung. Saribung easier than Chivv but fixed [rope] at crevasse. On Chivv fixed 500m more along the ridge to top. Both ridges entirely covered with snow; no ice on exposed rock. Saribung summited on 19th Sept by Kato, Koseki, Sibata, Wada and Yoshinaga.
