Route Notes BC at Oktang east of Yalung Glacier and south of Jannu ABC just beneath East Face (near Kangchenjunga BC area) Highpoint at ABC. First acclimatized by 2 nearby peaks of 5900m and 6100m. Could see East Face for one day only, the day of arrival at ABC, then fog and snow falling. Planned to start climb on 8th, but snow fell almost every afternoon and snow avalanches as result in warm weather. Never able to go above ABC. Just kept waiting.
