Route Notes Cloudy day on 19th but before that very clear few days. Bae not to summit because altitude headache and not enough food supplies for more than one summit attack. Late reaching BC because bridge out near Meta and had to go long way around. Between BC and C1 700m fixed rope beause crevasses and steep snow. C1 to C2 only 40-50m fixed rope.
