Route Notes C1 at North Col High point at just to right of North Ridge. Tosas alone twice to C1 site 15 and 18 Sept, but not well enough acclimatized to stay there. Both members to C1 on 26th for summit attack. 27th Tosas alone to 7600m and then stopped by strong wind so down to ABC by snowboard and climb was finished because wind was bad and it was difficult to climb without his teammate, who had stomach trouble.
