Route Notes	Bahi & Perez - 25 May 80 Perez and Frontera tried for summit on 27 April only; reached 8150m found couloir without snow which meant 100m bare rock which would require fixed rope.

This snow avalanched next day and then accident and C4 entirely carried away. From C2 members went up and found at bottom of face one Sherpa alive but badly injured. Other 3 men not hurt but had to come down without fixed rope. Accident happened when were crossing yellow band at about 7500m. More avalanching destroyed C3 on 20 May; no one in it, Poles could see clearly. Then warm days and lot snowfall, so too dangerous to go on face.
