Route Notes	BC at Kaphe Khola near point 4100m on Dhaulagiri map C1 on glacier near point 4738m C2 on west side of Ghustang North's small North Ridge C3 at NW Face of Gurja. Route was easy mostly: below C2 and on W Ridge required some fixed rope 140m on final ridge and C1 to C2 750m. On summit day left C3 5:30 am and on top 1:45 pm after fixing rope as they moved up that day. In descent Kobayashi fell after his crampon broke and came off. He was on ridge just above col at 6800m. Had good weather during climb not much snowfall. Makes no attempt to scale Churen or Dhaulagiri VI. Kobayashi fell 40m hitting head and body on rock and ice. He was carried down to C3 where he died at 8:30 pm on 29 April. Taue had stomach trouble so he and doctor left 1 week ahead of others, but then climb finished. 3 Nepalese "members" were the 3 Sherpas.
Accidents	Kabayashi fell 40m hitting head & body on rock, ice (carried down to C3 where he died on Apr 29); 1 member had stomach trouble; doctor left 1 week ahead of others, but then climb finished
