Jannu Attempt. A three-man Japanese expedition led by Masayuki Shinohara attempted the French route on Jannu (7710 meters, 25,294 feet). All three members reached 24,275 feet on October 20 during a summit push without bivouac equipment. At one P.M. they were still four to five hours from the summit and the wind was very strong. They turned back.
