Route Notes BC just before Kalapattar's SE Ridge, 1/2 hours below (normal site) C1 on SE Ridge C2 at snow field above SE Ridge High point on East Ridge. BC away from sand of lake and had good water. Walch had stomach and throat problems when they were trying for summit on 19th Oct and had just reached E Ridge and all turned back. Other 2 members also "not so good" health. No other attempt because everyone had head colds and bronchitis. Many ice avalanches but did no damage to this team. Technically not difficult.
