ABC at middle of the glacier
High point at NE Ridge.

Started attempting on 27-28 without much progress due to bad weather and strong wind. Last attempt was on October 5. Reached the highest point and had to abandon due to meter-deep snow obstructing the route and wind.

- Had to pitch deposit camp/ABC waiting for good weather (Japanese
expedition also had this camp at the same site).
- Strong wind also made difficult in making way. Every time the climbers
had to cut the way.
- Member Emilio Gonzalez returned from BC on October 1 due to asthma
(leader told me due to tobacco smoking).
- Luis said probably next expedition will be on Annapurna.
- Expedition leader: The name was changed in the permit as the actual
leader (Aguirre) was not having the membership certificate of Basque
climbing club/federation with him at the time of issuing the permit in
Kathmandu.

- The leader expressed satisfaction of the expedition - expedition
members were very good, good sherpas, praised the good service
of the handling company

- They were trying to fly out to Lukla following days.
- Have not decided the date of their departure from Nepal.
