Okhawara - 5 Feb 79

Pushki = Japanese club attempted Kusum Kangru (1978) last autumn; will try again next autumn with Dr. Sumiyoshi again leader.

Last autumn: 5 Japanese climbers including leader and 2 Nepalis, Pemba Sherpa and Dawa Lama Tamang reached 6000m+.

Route from Kyasha Glacier north of mountain and southwest of Kangtega. Tried North Ridge which required lot of fixed rope and deep snow (required many snow bars and not enough brought) - ridge very sharp. Spent 4 weeks on mountain.
