This expedition aimed to simultaneously climb the southwest face and the direct west ridge. During the ascent, Indian climber Harsh Vardhan Bahuguna was caught in a storm at Camp 3 and perished despite the rescue team's efforts. The expedition, already suffering from organizational problems, was severely tested after his death. The Americans decided, without consulting each other, to abandon the west ridge. The Europeans, who had spent days equipping the route, were left out and felt relegated to the roles of route setters and porters. Frenchman Pierre Mazeaud, Swiss climbers Michel and Yvette Vaucher, and Italian Carlo Mauri then left the expedition. Whillans and Haston continued the ascent of the southwest face up to 8,350 meters (27,400 feet) before a lack of equipment forced the expedition to stop. Written by BBC See less
