Route Notes BC east of Meta village, Phu Khola C1 on moraine near very small lake C2 on SW Ridge High point on SW Ridge. "Not difficult & very nice summit," but BC to C1 is very long day. Ridge was very icy. Stopped climb on 31 Oct because very windy and cloudy and that afternoon it snowed so all in C2 down to C1 and climb finished. But with 5 more days time could have rested one day at BC and done slowly through camps to summit. Not very difficult.
