Route Notes BC at Tulagi Khola. Bozic and Groselj to 7400m 2 May, 7700m 3rd May and 4th May easy assess to summit. Same route as Austrians 1972 and Poles last winter. BC also smashed by avalanche wind - incredibly. From BC saw 2 huge avalanches on 23 and 24th April which must have covered dump, which in turn was pushed aside by avalanche. On 30th Bozic and Groselj started from 6700m for S Face ascent.
