Route Notes	First acclimatization climb: Omitso Go 6230m BC 12/10 4100m at Na village Biv1 14/10 5000m Yalung Ri BC Biv2 21/10 5100m by all 4 members, camped on glacier lake above Dudh Kunda Biv3 22/10 5700m slept at the saddle Smt 23/10 Omitso Go summit by all four members via easy snow ridge, then back down to 5700m. 24 Oct back to Na BC. 25 Oct rest day at Na BC Details of the Tsoboje climb + pre conditions: Around 18-19-20 Oct there was bad weather. Nejc Marcic was sick for a week and the joined climbing on 21 Oct. There were a lot of single day rotations, returning back to Na. All four did the acclimatization more or less together, except Nejc Marcic was sick at the start, however he (Marcic) climbed the route with Luka Strazar. Strazar/Marcic (summited): 26 Oct went to check the approach to NW of Tsoboje and back to BC. 27 Oct rested, packing at BC. 28 Oct 1 am started from Na, good clear, cold weather conditions, windy. Approached the face, started climbing the lower part of the route at 5 am. Climbed until 7 pm reaching 5800m. Bivyed there. 29 Oct tired from the day before, at 9 am continued with technical climbing up to 6200m. It’s NW Face so it’s really cold, so there’s no rush to get started. Bivyed there. 30 Oct left at around 8 am; it was windy and cold, strong west, southwest winds and climbed to the summit reaching at 2 pm 6686m. There are two summits, pretty even in terms of height. So the Eastern most one and the Central one. Spent about 5 minutes on the summit. Then descend the West Face approx. Mingma’s line (approx. in this area). Descended all the way back to Na reaching at 8 pm on 30 Oct. Prezelj/Volontar (Nno summit): Marko Prezelj and Matija Volontar attemped Tsoboje via the SW Ridge (same as 1985 route). They began their climb on the 28 Oct (same day as the Strazar team). 28 Oct Bivy 1 slept at 5600m. 29 Oct Turned around at 6100m, then descended, slept at 5600m. 30 Oct returned to BC at around 1 pm. Climb abandoned on due to strong winds. Everyone Back to BC on 30th Oct. Left BC on 31 Oct and returned same way.
