| Route Notes | Spent 4 nights in C2 but not possible to go higher because very windy and on 28 Jan heavy snowfall. Lost time in C2 3 Feb and too deep snow. Went to C2 3 times. Basques (Inurrategi brothers) 8 Feb 98: Martinez Bros are fast in descent but average in ascent. Jesus the better climber but not outstanding. Their plans to summit all 8000ers in 12 months is "optimistic." |
