| Route Notes | Unguided commerical climb: Group's members independent and did what they wanted to do, Gatt gave no orders - no slaves, no oxygen. "Climbed by fair means", but used other's ropes. All members tried reach summit but C4 reached by only 8 members and of these only 2 went to very top. 25th in clouds at 3 pm and didn't want to go all the way because couldn't see things: had to follow flags and went to last flags, then too dangerous to go on. Were very late in season and had cloudy weather. Members who went to plateau only: 25th May - Gatt, Kerler and Fuchs 31st May - Linhofer 1st June - Hartlein 3rd June - Gatt again, Vielkind Michael Fuchs - did not go to highest point because was 5:30 pm, returned to C2 at 9:00 pm. Michael Fuchs - 31 May 95 I reached very near (could not see Everest plateau), went a little higher the summit on 25 May with the leader Erich Gatt and Michael. Our ascent goes in three days from the base camp to the top and one day down the route is the normal route over the northwest side. |
