| Route Notes | Climb not difficult technicaly but cold and wind presented difficulties and 9 members did not acclimatize, so not fit enough to try for top. Too many climbers tried to go high when not in good enough condition. Sherpa: Kancha Nuru Sherpa says he was born in 1943 (has completed 33 years) from Khumjung and this his first 8000m summit. |
