Route Notes BC at 5400m at near small lake C1 at 6250m at top of rib/ridge. Summit party of two left C1 at 1:00 pm, reached col at 4:00 am, on top 9:45 am in wind (but not too strong) and clear sky. Down to BC at 5:00 pm. Easier not to put tent and not to spend much time at higher altitude. Other 3 who went to Pumori, Blaetter, Meier Wittwer and Wittwer stayed in BC only because too cold for Blaetter, who also was tired and others were tired.
Accidents Frostbite in right thumb but only very slight
