High point at North Face.

3 May two brothers climbed for 3-1/2 hours above BC to site of most expedition's C2 at 5500m and found there route was broken by serac barrier 30 meters high dangerously exposed to avalanche chute above. It would take perhaps 7 hours at least instead of normal 20 minutes to surmount barrier, so danger too great and thus back to BC for lunch.
