| Route Notes | BC at site of Yugoslav South Face Lhotse (west side of Lhotse Glacier). Original route plan not possible because many avalanches. Actual route was not technically difficult but high altitude made climbing difficult. Most difficult sections were rib above C1 and rock band (80m steep rock) above C2. |
| Accidents | Stone hit 20th May summiter and stitches required; 3 frostbite cases (toes and fingers) but will probably lose nothing |
