Route Notes BC at Lobuche Glacier near small lake ABC near Kalapattar (east of KP and SW of big lake) C2 just below Pt 6188m at SE Ridge-S Ridge junction High point at C2. Climb halted at C2 because too much snow already and avalanche danger too great and no time to wait for safer snow conditions. So Negri descended 16 Sept and climbing ceased. Team left ABC 17 Sept and BC 18 Sept. Castelnuovo and Spreafico on 15th back to C1 because no room for them at C2 and they "preferred C1."
