| Route Notes | BC on Langshisa Glacier moraine C1 slightly below beginning of West Ridge C2 on West Ridge High point on West Ridge. Stopped at 6300m because of snowstorm and had to make snowhole for protection. Storm came very suddenly from southwest and spent night there and 15th down to C2. 16th to C1 and 17th to BC. Climb abandoned because following storm came strong winds and could see from BC serious crevasses high on West Ridge. Meglic and Gramc climbed only to 5800m only once on 5th Oct, then Meglic decided not possible to reach top safely and didn't want to take risks; Gramc followed his lead. No ropes taken to fix route, only ropes between climbers. |
