From Oktang monastery 2-1/2 hour walk. Made attempt to reach summit: Hayashi, Takeushi and Ang Phuri Lama left C3 at 3:00 am and arrived at 6700m of NW Face at 7:00 am. Then big avalanche and very strong wind, so down to C3. Very deep, soft snow: very bad snow conditions making climbing dangerous (next day stronger wind).
