BC at old BC site nicely prepared
C1 at top of icefall at base of rock
C2 at SSE of summit (not occupied)
High point at C2 site.

Saw when went to C2 site, would not have enough rope to complete climb of SW Ridge, so went down to C1 and climb finished. 19 consecutive days of snow so avalanche danger and difficult climbing conditions requiring more rope than expected. At high point scattered ashes of Doug Hall, US ice climber, who died last year.
