Route Notes 4 Oct all members want to 5380m biv northwest of Lhonak and next day 50m higher (but long distance to snow-covered rocky area at start of glacier east of Danga). 6th up glacier northeast direction to Col east of Tinjung at 6000m biv. 7th climbed East Ridge to East Face of Tinjung to 6137m; above this dangerous ridge (avalanche danger), then down down to Lhonak BC. Now snowing. 10 Oct up Lhonak Glacier to 5250m biv on moraine on west side of glacier. Hansen now had flu and returned to BC. 10 Oct other 3 members biv at 5500m on northwest of Lhonak Glacier to see feasible route up Pandra. 12th went up short distance, no visibility of mountain now so back to BC. Could not see mountain through snow and clouds. 14th same 3 members returned to 5500m and on up glacier to biv at 5740m in the basin southeast of mountain. 16th to summit of Pandra (6673m GPS) up South Face via couloir leading to col South Face and back to 5740m biv - face steep ice and snow so very difficult. 17th to Lhonak. 19th for Danga altitude up high end of glacier to 5225m and biv here. 20th all except Hansen to top via South Glacier and South Face of Danga; steep steps and easier climb in between and all back BC. Achieved this goal of exploratory climbing.
