| Route Notes | BC between Dhampus and French Passes on east side of start of ridge feeding NW Ridge C1 at junction of North and NW Ridge C2 on NW Ridge. Weather very good. Snowed during acclimatization period only. Not difficult because snow good and skied up from C1 to C2 and skied down same sector. All members did this skiing and so did sirdar Wangchu Sherpa. Did not ski to and from BC because no snow there nor above C2 because terrain too difficult for skiing. |
