| Route Notes | BC south of Lunding Tsho High point at East Ridge. From BC explored South Ridge to 5900m up rock at first (3 pitches), there 2 snow pitches and found route above "too scary" with too many seracs and young climbers not experienced enough. Fixed some rope on South Ridge by Bourdier. Soureillat to 5900m and then gave up this line and shifted to East Ridge. Went up West side of lake to camp at 5600m on small ridge and on to small peak at 5900m; all of team except Graftiaux and Favier who stayed with her in C1; here already route too difficult for her. Snowfall everyday. From C1 down to BC on 21 and 22 April since route above also too difficult for women members. Bourdier would like to return to South Ridge with small group of experienced climbers and go very fast because of seracs and need one biv only and up in daytime, down at night. |
