Rope-fixing to C1 done by Everest Pariwar Sherpas and C1 to C2 done by Sherpas from Snowy Horizon and Seven Summit Treks. Climb abandoned on 15 May due to no fix rope above C3 due to lack of manpower. Team left BC on 17 May. Accidents: Hofsli got chest infection and went to Tingri for five days from 3 May. Oxygen: Taken, not used. Hired: Mingmar Tamang (7700m), 1968-06-21 This season ended up with no summits on Cho Oyu. There were 17 members attempting for the summit. Biggest team [SummitClimb] was of 10 members whose four Sherpas started fixing ropes until C2. One Sherpa died who fell into crevasse near C2. Overall situation was that the big team called off the climbing and rest of 5 Sherpas fixed ropes until C3. At the end the due to lack of manpower the Sherpas fixing ropes gave up the work. Most of the routes have less snow, but blue ice made climbing more difficult. Weather was mostly windy. |
