Route Notes BC at normal site C1 at NE col C2 at start of ridge C3 at end of ridge High point at C3. Spent one month in BC because an agent refused to let Italians climb at same time on same route despite fact Italians only 2 men in 1 tent. 4 days in C1 because snowing. Bad weather continued after C2 established but did make C3 and waited there one more day; but too much snow for night traverse to C4 site (too much avalanche danger here) so went down to BC on 3 May from C3 and climb finished. All 3 men climbed together; 2 Spanish and Ang Rita Sherpa.
