Gaurishankar Attempt. An expedition led by Michio Yuasa in the pre-monsoon season was composed of 14 Japanese and three Nepalese. They established three high camps and reached 21,000 feet on the southeast ridge. The route was very long and required fixed rope all the way. They fixed 16,000 feet of rope. The climbers were too tired to continue and bad weather set in.
