Route Notes High point at C2 site. Skar had never really intended to climb beyond C2, or maybe C3. He was on a Lhotse permit. He just wanted to have a look at what Everest is like and maybe come back next year. Skar and Densa reached C2 but never stayed a night. They went straight back to BC and remained there. They were planning on going up again, but Skar was too tired and decided to leave. Sherpa: Densa Bhote, 30/10/81, Hungung, Sankhuwasabha, Cho Oyu X1, Everest X1
