Expeditions to Himlung prior to 1992 were probably climbing Nemjung.

Very steep and sharp ice and rock = E ridge. Snow every day, sometimes more than 50 cm/day. Route in couloir had daily avalanches and could move only in mornings because too dangerous in afternoons, so took many days to built up 4 camps. Needed fixed rope on ridge in 2 more days, but not enough rope left after fixing 6000m rope already. Also members altitude sickness and 2 Sherpas left leaving not enough manpower.

Above BC were 3 Sherpa members and 1 H-A porter.
