This mountain previously known as Ganesh II until re-surveyed in early 1990's.

Turned back on 7th Oct by bad weather. Planned C3 at about 6700m but never reached it. On 7th fixed same rope towards C3 and expected next day to make C3, but 8th very windy and cloudy and little snow. All night of 8/9 Oct snowed and decided to return to BC. That night C1 the two tents flattened and all poles broken by fierce wind; avalanche came down too but camp was protected by crevasse above into which avalanche fell. Route above C1 not very safe because of seracs. 14th 2 members and 2 Sherpas to C2 but deep snow above C1 and much new snow came all that night and wind. Down again on 15th with recoverable equipment (1 tent at C2 broken by heavy snow).

Wirz on 24 Sept fell 2m at 4500m ("stupid accident", injured shoulder); this was all, but lost one day's climbing from it.
