Summary
Despite having a long time to attempt this peak; due to very poor snow conditions and snow fall above camp I this six members team could reach up to 5700 m only. They were attempting the west ridge. Like many other expeditions now coming to Garhwal, they faced problems of permits from Uttarakhand Forest Department and had to pay extra fees despite having all the permissions from Delhi and the Indian Mountaineering Foundation.
