Base Camp (12,500 feet) was on the west side of the Patrasi Himal. Their route up the southwest ridge was the same taken by the Kobe Commercial University previously. From Camp II on October 18 Shigeru Kuwahata and Toyukazu Hirota reached the summit (21,742 feet). However they claim the altitude to be 6580 meters or 21,588 feet and they may have climbed some other peak in the range.
