Dameuin & Fressard - 2 Nov 82

All arrived KTM 30 Oct, all Ok.
Abandoned climb because snow. 80 cm at C2 and avalanches which came down near this camp.

Route = East Ridge. C3 was on ridge and left supplies there.

Between C1 and C2 very difficult and dangerous crevasse and seracs, too much for 2 Sherpas carrying loads. Could not wait for snow to stop, permit ended 31 Oct and would have had to resupply higher camps. Could not have came to Nepal earlier in autumn because busy working as guide in France. Abandoned on 23 Oct when saw weather was so bad, did not want to take risk. Did not climb above C3.
