| Route Notes | 15th summit bid by 3 members from C2 to col at 6500m & turned back by being in thick clouds and down to BC same day. Up 16th Oct by 2 members and got to 6850m and again visibility so poor couldn't go on and down to BC. 18th Oct 2 members couldn't go as high as col because of altitude problems. 19th Oct other 2 members only 100m above C2 because falling ice seracs were too dangerous. Yaks were arranged for 22nd, so climb finished. 19th Oct 18 people were on fixed ropes. |
