The Lodge is slowly finishing … With some unfinished things like its name in French for instance. 17/09 Preparation 2 people: Tham and me Weather is not fine, 80% of cloud coverage here and no view on any summit Load is about 25 Kg per person 50m 8mm rope, crampons, 1 ice axe, gletcher personal stuff, 4 ice screws and carabiners. 1 tent quechua 2p, altitude shoes, 1 gaz stove, 2 bottles, 1 small cooking set, 1 pieud a neige, 1 dead body, 18/09 move from Rani Pauwa to YakKarka (camp 2) Long way up carrying everything. This could be the first Alpine style trial on YakHawa Kang South route. But the weather is not very nice. We stay at 4400m bivouacking in the sheperds staying place. 19/09 Move up to 5700 at first pass At 03h30 it was raining, so we did not move. We have been starting at 06h30 only for a sight only.
