Route Notes	BC at Pangpema C1 (ABC) at bottom of SW Ridge C2 on ridge C3 on ridge (same site as Japanese in autumn 1995) C4 on ridge before lower of the two twins. Above C1.ABC "was attention warfare" steep ice, steep crack, a lot of snow "a hell of a climb." Fixed all of route from C1 to C2 (about 1200m of rope fixed, most of it doubled up) and bit of other sections of route. C1 to C2 was "crux of the climb." Right until end outcome in doubt and 1st summit success was "superhuman effort" against strong wind and hard climbing. Brought all rubbish including ropes away from Pangpema. Decided when had actually finally established C2 that would not attempt Pyramid Peak although had paid its royalty and fee for liaison officer. Snowfall often: climbed all day, snowed all night, route making all over again. Towards the end, winds got strong.
