Kase & Ueda - 15 May 75

SW Face route different. Very difficult for load carrying to 6600m.

C3 = Keio Univ's C4 altitude but not same place; their routes for highest point reached 6750m.

3 May by Hosoi and Kose, Ueda and Suzuki, then loads not coming up. "I think our party no power." Route difficult and 10 Sherpas not used properly and also were afraid of routes great difficulty.

No accidents, no frostbite, very big avalanches but C1 and C2 but no one hurt: 6 am 3rd or 5th April very near route which was very steep and up icefall.

All members here in KTM 3 days then disperse.

Sherpas not carrying above C3; making route above C3, 1 Sherpa only present.

Komi: heavy snowfall also problem, no porters available.
