| Route Notes | BC due south of Sita Chuchura and due west of Tukuche Peak C1 at top of Icefall C2 on North Face C3 on North Face C4 on North Face C5 on North Face. From C1 had to go left to get around big crevasse. Above C3 difficult rock like roof tiler, some days covered with some snow, some days bare. 5th May start from BC to go top and 8th May arrived at C4, climbing with 2 tents. 9th made C5, stopped where snow cover began on 10th May. 11th May left C6 at 6:15 am for top; slept little that night at C6 because strong wind. 12th to C4 only because had no fixed rope there. Route is not easy to find: 60-degree wall but crossed it at 45-degrees steepness - good line. |
