Asia, Nepal, Tilicho Attempt

Publication Year: 1981.

Tilicho Attempt. A joint German-Swiss expedition attempted Tilicho in the pre-monsoon season via the north ridge from the east. The leader was Dr. Jörg Biel. They reached about 20,000 feet. Of only three climbing members, one got sick. The Sherpas were inexperienced in rock climbing. There was inadequate manpower for safely continuing the climb.
