No mention regarding more attempts or weather. K Takahashi - 19 Aug 83 Takahashi, Hanawa and Kaji arrived KTM yesterday. Leave for BC after about 4 days. After Lhotse climb Hanawa comes to KTM for more supplies (winter tents, warmer jackets) for Everest climb while rest of team to spend 3-4 weeks resting at Hotel Everest View. Takahashi does not come to KTM. 25 Nov start into Icefall again for Everest climb.
