2 / 7

On the 8th of Sept. we crossed the Phunangma and set camp at the base of the face beneath a huge boulder. Conditions were anything but ideal. The entire face was plastered with fresh snow and the weather still appeared unstable. In addition, we had spent only 6 days between 15,000 and 17,000 ft. so our acclimatization was marginal. Nonetheless, we felt better conditions were unlikely given how late in the season it was and objectively the climb looked reasonable safe. We decided to give it a go.
