Bauddha Attempt. A six-man expedition from the Japanese Hirosaki Overseas Climbing Club led by Shozo Kikuchi failed to climb Bauddha (21,890 feet) by its south ridge. They set up Base Camp (15,100 feet), Camp I (17,800 feet) and Camp II (19,400 feet) on March 31, April 8 and April 10 respectively. They gave up the expedition on April 21 due to continuous bad weather.
