| Route Notes | BC at road C1 at North Col C2 on North Ridge. High point on North Face (C3 site). C1->C2 time loss because of snow falling every day. On 20th "*Sherpas" dumped loads at C3 site and down to ABC having done their job. 22nd or 23rd attempted to reach C3 site and go for top from there, but reached no higher than 8000m, dumped more gear and retreated because of high winds. Next day makes part way to C6 and next day after that to 7700m (South African tent) and down. 2 days later and 1 day later more teams went up to 7600m and defeated by winds, "non stop all day roaring away." Then 4 days of snowfall and then daily more attempts ending at 7600m because of wind (except 1 member reached 8000m on 9th). * 2 Tamangs instead of Sherpas above BC. |
