Peak 29, West Face Attempt. The Yokohama Mountaineering Association Expedition was led by Fumia Tamaka and included nineteen, one an American and one a woman. They attempted the west face of Peak 29 (24,652 feet). They reached 19,000 feet on April 17. The highest camp was at 17,700 feet. Above this Camp IV the expedition could find no site for a Camp V. The route was very difficult and impossibly dangerous due to constant rockfall.
