21 Oct give up. Problem of snow making difficult to progress and brought avalanches which hit one member who had to stop climbing then.

Route = South Ridge
C4 to top could be quick with ice easy to climb but with snow was serious avalanche danger and had to give up.

Imbert - 1 Sept 82

7 total members - leave KTM 7 Sept by road to Pokhara
14 days caravan to BC via Beru and up Myagdi Khola to 3600m
Lower BC at 3600m north of Puchhar - this camp for rest in bad weather
Upper BC altitude depends on snow conditions - maybe 4000m

Are more fixed camps; above this line bivs, 3 or 4 bivs depending on degree of acclimatization.

Route = direct South Ridge to summit never climbed successfully before, but thinks one Japanese expediiton tried it; thinks there is a direct South Ridge.

Arrive lower BC about 22 Sept. 1-1/2 months provisions, but hope reaach summit in 3-4 weeks from lower BC; must wait for acclimatization.

C1 = ABC from which no more fixed camps.
No Sherpas above upper BC unless sirdar goes, so not sure.

LBC - 3600m
UBC - 4000m (rough estimate)
ABC - 5500-6000m

Upper part of ridge could be difficult mixed rock and snow but don't really know.
Medical oxygen only.
