Tilitso Attempt. This group of 34 French, Spaniards and a Belgian was really more like three trekking parties out to try a 7000er. The first group reached Base Camp on October 13 but deep snow prevented their porters from bringing the necessary baggage. The second group never got there because of deep snow. The third group, made up of Spaniards, got to Base Camp on October 18 and pitched two higher camps. Pablo Gonzalez and Adolfo Sanchez got to 6600 meters before strong winds made them give up. They were trying the north face to the north ridge.
