BC at near Barun Pokhari
ABC at Chago Glacier
C1 at Chago Glacier
C2 at Chago Glacier at below steep section
C3 at Makalu La
C4 in snow seracs on left side of NW Ridge
High point at left (North) side of ridge.

1 May 3:00 am 4 left C4 for top (Ruiz de la Pena, Diez, Ang Dawa, Dawa), reached high point at 12:00 and turned back because difficult rock ahead, not roped together. No time to reach top and return to camp with bad weather coming. Returned to C4 3:30 pm, C3 at 4:30 pm and slept in C3; to ABC next day.

2nd summit bid by Alanso, Alvarez and Falcon with Ang Dawa and Dawa only to C3 9 or 10 May, but down because "no good weather" (wind) and "no good condition" and climb finished.
