Route Notes Expedition cancelled because did not have enough money even after selling all equipment and cameras. Have only $3000 and Sherpa Cooperative Trekking (SCT) estimated they needed $6000. One contribution of 100,000 pesos would have meant plenty funds but with devaluations now worth only $660. Hope to have fee paid for permit carried over to permit for 1985 and to return then.
