Route Notes BC at Lhotse Shar Glacier east of Island Peak. Antoni needs one week more to go above 7350m and running out of food and fuel. Had chosen more difficult Austrian and Japanese route rather than easier Swiss route and had just reached SE Ridge where Swiss Route joined their route and finished difficult part of climb. Difficult part between BC and C3, especially C2 to C3 where very steep ice and rock (little snow).
