| Route Notes | BC on 30th Sep at 4800m southwest of Pt 4718 on Japan Dhaulagiri map C1 on 8th Oct at 5300m on narrowing glacier between Pt 6127m & 6172m C2 on 10th Oct at 5900m on small snow ridge C3 on 12th Oct at 6400m on E. snow plateau. Tripard - 2 Nov 96 Climbed via glacier between Pt 6127m & 6172m and then south to Langra Glacier on peak's east side; C2 was on this Langra Glacier's east snow plateau. From C2 Tripard and Foellmi to top in 7 hours and other summiters from C3 in 4 hours (last 4 hours all summiters together to top). 14th four other members in C3 could not make second summit attempt because of strong wind. Now climb finished, C3 brought down. Singapore team followed French because only French had skis and snow shoes which were necessary to open route. No difficulties in skis and shoes up and down (skied from summit to C1 and then more parts of route below). Email message from Tripard - Dewc 16, 2003 Do you remember your summit time on Oct 13? yes 10 h We are showing the summiters as Tripard, Allibert, Foellmi Laurent, Manificat and Ang Jambu Sherpa (is this correct?). yes Is your Ang Jambu also known as Lama Janbu from Kharikhola who summited Everest and Cho Oyu in 1995 or is this a different Sherpa? ?? |
