| Route Notes | Never left Kali Gandaki Valley. Met Japanese team (Tukuche?) at Larjung & they said very bad snow conditions & wind during past 4 days had driven them away. So French made no attempt to go to base camp. 2 members had altitude sickness in Thorung La, where group trekked after abandoning climbing plan. |
