This party climbed separately from Russians and Bulgarian, Russell Brice confirmed 9 June 99.


Note: Russian and Bulgarian leadership of International Everest:

Expedition insisted this party and four-member Russian-Bulgarian party were all one expedition who ate and climbed together, but they could not say when the Latins reached C1 and C2. The Latins insisted that they never climbed with Russians and Bulgarian; they had their own tents, food and Sherpas. One Finn, Mankinen, was supposed to climb with Russians and Bulgarian but actually climbed with the Latins.
