Shishapangma Attempt. Our Shishapangma (Xixabangma) expedi tion ...
Shishapangma A ttem p t. O ur Shishapangm a (X ixabangm a) expedi tion degenerated into a reconnaissance when a num ber of the expedition could not go. A lthough technically easy, the route on the m ountain is not free of objective danger. A large slab avalanche ran over 2000 feet of the route from Cam p III to Cam p IV. A rope of three climbers
just missed being caught by another large slide between Camps II and III. The com bination of high September snowfall and high O ctober winds and cold tem peratures created a high windslab avalanche risk which persisted during most of October. G e r a l d A. R o a c h
