Route Notes	Most difficult part of route was 1st 1000m of ridge. All afraid of rock fall. Were only two teams working high on route: four members and too much for them to carry up equipment for so many camps. So C3 tent moved up as C5, so when 2nd summit team went up, technical difficulty made them unable get to C5 and they had to biv. Plus 2nd team acclimatizations differed: 1 member from Dhaulagiri I top but 1 member only 2 nights in C3. Rested C5 one day and 15th to top. Descending Kukuczka fell 4m and decided to biv at 7300m and not take chance in dark. Biv very hard so spent 16th in C5 and 17th in C3. E Face very dangerous from many avalanches; S Ridge is very difficult. Kukuczka: Arrived Dhaulagiri I ABC, summited Left Dhaulagiri I BC 25 Jan Arrived KTM 2 Feb Flew to Lukla 8 Feb Arrived Cho Oyu BC 9 Feb Summited Cho Oyu and bived Scaled his 7th 8000er, Dhaulagiri, 21 Jan 1988. If successful on Cho Oyu, will be first climber to conquer 2nd 8000er in Nepal in such short period of time after his 1st and first to do so anywhere in winter. Tourism - 16 Feb 85 Kukuczka and Heinrich contacted BC at 2:00 pm and said they reached top yesterday very late so bived at 7920m last night. Today at 11:00 am reached C5 and will stay there tonight. Tomorrow to BC stayed on top 20 minutes, hoisted flags of Poland, Nepal and Germany and took many photos. At sunset had many beautiful sights. Weather cold (-25 degrees C) and strong wind.

Today sunny at BC, -4 degrees C there. Summit party took long to top because of mist. Shrestha, Tourism - 15 Feb 85 Last contact 1:30 pm when 150m below summit, left C5 7:00 am for summit.
