| Route Notes | BC east of Tent Peak, north of Machhapuchare in BC C1 below small rock ridge southeast of summit C2 at start of plateau south of summit High point at couloir north of Fluted Peak. More than 1-1/2 meters of wet snow at BC when arrived and had to shove it aside; couldn't find secure place for C3 because warm weather meant only 8:10 cm frozen surface of snow that in mornings melted; afternons and nights many seracs falling (at night never colder than -5 degrees C which is much too warm). At 6150m great crevasse crossing mountain and this plus many seracs meant not safe to climb more. |
