Re: Description needed

I think the ridge route is British (Boardman, Scott, Tasker with Bettembourg), the direct is Messner variant.

Re: Description needed

ridge rout correct...but 2nd rout...I'm not sure ... it looks like Japan rout (1980). Messner did his variant in 1982 and it was a link between Japan and Boardman-Tasker routs. As I remamber Messner joined B-T rout in it's lower part - camp4 seems to high for me. Need to find an old photo at home.

Re: Description needed

Brade's right. Messner climbed the spur to the ridge little above the North Col (1982).
