| Route Notes | BC at road C3 just below rock ridge (100m below Loretan's C3). Night of 9th May wind tore tent at C3; had intended to go to top on 10th but instead Rodriquez & Justicia went down to C2 and on to BC. Next attempt by one Argentinian and arrived C3 on 15 May; Vidal & Sorhochar had been with him to C2. 16th May down from C3 because Aedo getting frostbite in fingers & toes (not serious). Yaks arranged for 17th May so no more time for climbing. Had problem of theft of gear deposited above C1 by Sherpas with other expeditions. |
