Route Notes	BC at Kaphe Khola near point. Ridge just under summit was most difficult part: 700 vertical meters of mixed snow and rock. Very difficult to find safe piton spots. 2350m of fixed roe from C1 to summit. High altitude and strong winds also made climb not so easy but technically speaking not really so difficult. 9 hours from C3 to summit in strong wind (returned to C3 that night; 6th Oct summiters in BC).
Accidents	Suzuki altitude sickness, evacuated by helicopter with Yamaguchi; nothing else
