Route Notes	On 1 Nov Mizoguchi and Gyalbu Tamang left C2 at 5:30 am. They arrived at 6150m at 9:30 pm. Mizoguchi and Gyalbu saw the summit ridge was full of soft snow 2-3 meters deep. It was not possible for them to continue for the summit, so they descended to C2 around 12:30 pm, slept there, and next day to BC. Mizoguchi returned to Kathamandu on 11 Nov and will leave on 5 Dec. Hired: Gyalbu Tamang, 21/5/77 (08/02/2034), Langtang-7, Rasuwa
