Route Notes	Found G. O. Dyhrenfurth's ice axe and remains of his Sherpa who died in avalanche (pre-war clothing and small bones). Letter from Norman Dyhrenfurth - 25 Nov 1987 Chettan was crushed by a huge ice avalanche on May 8, 1930, and after more than an hour of artificial respiration he was buried near C2. My father's old ice-axe was indeed placed on his grave. Perhaps a recent avalanche brought his remains to the surface, and broke the ice axe as well. What a strong coincidence! I certainly look forward to receiving the two pieces. Knowing of no other climber climber killed at that place, it certainly must be Chettan.
