| Route Notes | From BC to C2 no problems but above C2 crevasse problems. Had found much fixed rope already on mountain up to C2 and used them. Used old ropes to 6700m but here crevasse required ladders and had no ladder with him. Snow soft. Crevasse at 6700m was 7-8m wide and could see there were 5 or 6 crevasses above of same width. No avalanches. 25th up from C2 to 6700m and back to C2. 26th to BC and left mountain 27th. |
