Moditse or Annapurna South. A French expedition put Gérard Devou- assoux and Maurice Gicquel onto the summit of Moditse or Annapurna South (23,600 feet) on October 27. They climbed it from the south with a bivouac above their 22,500-feet camp. The other two members, Yvon Masino and Georges Payot failed in their attempt on October 28. This mountain was first climbed on October 15, 1964 from the north by Japanese Ugeo and Sherpa Mingma Tsering, who called it “Ganesh”. (A.A.J., 1965, 14;2, pp. 465-6.)
