| Route Notes | BC at 1 days walk west of West Ridge (normal site) C1 at South Face C2 at West Ridge C3 at West Ridge. Left C3 at 3:00 am 7 Feb all 4 together; on top Sherpas 11:00 am and Kunz 11:10 am and down to C2 at 8:00 pm; in BC 8 Feb. "Very hard climb" because every day cold and on blue ice in some sections of above C3 and one blue icefield C2-C3, so required mountaineering knowledge. Kunz claims ascent of Langshisa Ri 26 Jan 2003 as one-member team; he was also a member of German Amical Alpin Dhaulagiri I expedition (led by Netzer) in Spring 2000. |
