Route Notes BC at normal site at northwest end of Lake High point on NE Spur. 23 Oct from BC going to make C1, biv 50m below C1 site because deep snow, very soft & 65 degrees slope meant danger of avalanches, cornice hanging above. Sirdar abandoned expedition before arrival BC (bad dreams and great fears) and therefore expedition lost 8 days finding BC plus desertion by half of porters. This then resulted in loss of morale of members. Constant avalanches down sides of ridge.
Accidents None (before Louridis developed altitude sickness and left team)
