Publication Year: 1982.

Dhaulagiri Attempt. A nine-man Austrian expedition led by Adolf Huber attempted the standard route, the northeast ridge. They placed three camps and reached 22,650 feet on September 26. Then came a four-day storm that destroyed so much equipment and other supplies that it was impossible to continue.
