Kim Dae-Il was tired and did not ascend from C3.

Park So-Jung stayed in BC because of dangerous approach to mountain.

Bok Jin-Young was expedition leader and managed ascent from C1. Didn’t intend to summit.

Crux: Dangerous serac zones at 5400m and 6500m. Seracs were threatening during sunny and warm days. From 5900m to 6400m some difficult pitches; mixed terrain, snow and ice. At times vertical ice wall.
