Route Notes BC near lake east of Kalapattar ABC at bottom of SE Ridge High point on SE Ridge. Fixed ropes to 6050m on 28 Oct just below C1 site and turned back since knew would need more rope to fix on this 60-degree steep slope (had expected other teams ot be on mountain too but none was) and had lost stove in bag dropped when birds attacked food inside it while 2 members were climbing. Expedition was not well prepared for this climb. Originally it was to be a team of four members, but two dropped out.
