Route Notes BC at near Japanese 1982 autumn BC site. Fresh snow and wind constantly. Did have some avalanching in abnormally large amount of snow. Really needed Sherpas to help make tracks in deep snow. Difficult but not dangerous; not difficult to C2, difficulties came higher. In normal weather not much danger.
