Route Notes BC little above the lake side C1 at NE Spur C2 at North Ridge High point at beginning of rocks on North Ridge. On Nov 6 Kabusch and Ranier along with three Nepalese left the C2 at 03:00 hours. Weather was windy and very cold. About 04:30 hours near to the rocks Ranier had to re-fix one of his crampons. While doing that he got his fingers frostbitten. Kabusch's body was feeling numb, then all of then descended to BC at about 13:00 hours. Ranier said that he could not say how bad the fingers are. It will be known after one or two weeks. Kriegl remained at BC all time as she had headache and cough. Pitzek-Bischof and Unterlercher reached up to 5000m on Nov 3 and Zmoelnig went up to 5900m. The expedition team returned to KTM on Nov 15 and will leave on the 16th (evening).
Accidents The middle and ring finger of right hand of Ranier were frostbitten
