BC near glacier
C1 above rock barrier towards point 6484m on Annapurna Conservative Area Map
High point on NW Ridge at point 6484m (C2 site).

1st week at BC one week continuous rainfall. 3rd to 5th Sept only 3 days could climb (because of snow avalanching); carried gear to C2 5th Sept after spending 4th fixing route through icefall to 6400m. Arrived C2 site at 6480m at 3 pm and after discussion decided to leave gear and go down to C1; was alreading snowing. Another problem: now saw many hidden crevasses beyond C2 and must bring up more rope and snow bars. 5th Sept slept in C1. Weather bad on 6th (snowing at C1, raining at BC). Down to BC on 6th and found cooking gas was finished; cut kitchen timbers for firewood for fuel.

Since had to be back in KTM on 18th, decided not enough time for climb. Left BC 7th Sept and arrived KTM 13th Sept night.
