Manda. Our members were Masatosi Sasaki, Tomoyuki Sogabe, Takanori Sasaki, Hiroyuki Kawaguchi and I. We set up Base Camp on May 29 at 13,775 feet at Kedarganga Kharak. We set up Camp I on June 2 on the Manda Glacier at 16,400 feet and Camp II on June 9 at 18,375 feet where we reached the north ridge. On June 18 Sogabe, T. Sasaki and Kawaguchi left Camp II at 5:50 A.M. and reached the summit (6510 meters, 21,360 feet) at 1:30 P.M. The route was the same as that of the Indian expedition led by Dr. Minoo Mehta, which climbed the peak on June 7, 1981. (See A.A.J., 1982, pages 256-7.)
