Route Notes BC at south shore of Dudh Kung Lake Daily snowfall. Reached most difficult part beginning with ice wall from 5900m and then above the ridge. Would take too long to make route up ice wall which was now covered with snow and would be corniced on ridge. Also running out of rope for fixing route all necessary sections. Only 6-7 days time left and some members not very well.
