| Route Notes | C2 above a rock face. High point at large scree field. Gave up climb because of shortage of rope and ice gear to cross heavily crevassed glacier. Also gave up because of lack of funds. Was good recce for further attempt. No accidents in Newell's report and trekking agent Ang Chota says none occured, but there was a big avalanche near BC which hurt no one. |
