Route Notes BC at others BC site C1 at stony grassy ridge leading to met - 3 miles from mountain. Point 5500m had some bad avalanche slopes off small ridge of moraine of a past glacier. Came down to BC and climb finished. BC much too far from mountain as were on south slopes of a mountain still a far away. Would have needed 3 weeks of good weather but had only one day. No wind but very much new snow and had difficulty leaving BC because of it.
