| Route Notes | Otsuka - 19 Oct 82 C2 29 Sept at 5700m was last camp. All ministry camp and summit information correct. Route = South Face, same route as spr 1982 Japanese Nagoya. Every day good weather and so easy climb but every day danger from falling seracs, however no damage done by seracs. 1100m fixed rope put in, all above C2 to summit which was fixed in early days of Oct (all members then stayed in C1) to 50m below summit by 5 Oct. No accident, illness, frostbite. Most difficult part was 200-300m ice face to 5900m, then 100m rock face. All returned today. Very lucky with weather: on march in snowed every day and after climb again bad weather, but through out climb weather very good.
