Camp 1
Camp 1 in two weeks. Although the place
is safe against direct avalanches, the air wave from an avalanche can
break ordinary tents or blow away the ones that are not securely
fastened to the ground.
Camp 1
On the route to camp 2. It is necessary
to start very early because of frequent small avalanches. There were
several big crevasses on the way that required rope.
