| Route Notes | BC at Tsaurabong Glacier C1 at upper part of Glacier C2 on South Ridge of Snow Peak C3 on East Ridge of Dhaulagiri II. If weather fine, climb only "little difficult" but with heavy constant snowfall climb was difficult and dangerous. Daily avalanches near route, but luckily no one hit ("we very lucky"). |
