Messner & Oelz - 7 Nov 79

Used up most of fixed ropes and some time in helping New Zealanders. Reached high point 6000m three times, first time 24 Oct going up in case New Zealanders were continuing up after accident and thus to help New Zealanders. All five reached this point at least once.

Had thought Americans left lot of fixed rope last spring but found none - were on same route.

No fixed camps above 5400m.

Letter of 21 Oct from Nairz says BC to be established 22 Oct.
Asks for Puma to SYB on 7 Nov to bring them back to KTM.


Nairz, Messner & Oelz - 14 Oct 79

Route = same as 1st two ascents except in lower part will go to South Ridge from Mingbo.

Alpine style, no Sherpas above BC unless Datti goes as member; maybe one camp.
2 weeks on mountain; have no more time.
