Route Notes The expedition's main goal was Bijora Hiunchuli, which is not on the permitted list, but is one of the peaks in the Jagdula range. Jagdula peak is permitted. Bijora Hiunchuli's altitude is given variously as 6011m or 6111m. The team started their approach by flying to Nepalgunj on 15 April. They made several camps in the following days. On the 22nd, in order to climb several small mountains in the area, they pitched a low BC north of Bijora Hiunchuli on the east side the Chaudhabas Glacier. On the 24th and 25th, they arrived at BC at 4965m to give access to the north side of the North Ridge. On the 26th they made a deposit camp at 5300m on the north side above BC. On the 27th they returned to BC because some members were developing altitude sickness. On 30 April (while the other members of the team were on Bijora Hiunchuli) Damilano summited Jagdula Peak, 5764m, east-northeast of Bijora Hiunchuli. He left low BC at 4:00 pm on the 29th and got to the top at 11:00 am the next day. He ascended mixed rock and ice on the SW Face, descended the NW Ridge, and was back in low BC at 4:00 pm of the 30th.
