| Route Notes | Very strong cold wind on arrival at BC. Snow conditions excellent but not enough snow for skiing or making traverse from Yugoslav route so followed Messner variant. Between 2 yellow bands 1 member pitched C3 at 7400-7500m alone and went for top next morning while all others were in BC (chest and throat problems). No other summit attempts because not much time left. Constantly cold and very windy (fresh fruit frozen at BC). Oxygen used once by sick member. |
