600m rope fixed on banana ridge - ice up to 70°

27th of July
At 4:00 am I started with the 3 HAP`s towards the foot of the ridge leading
to camp II (called banana-ridge). I could fix 600m of rope all the way to
the rock tower (see picture), mainly with ice srews. At 6:30 the 10 members
of the AMICAL group started from C1 and climbed the banana up to 6300m. In
the afternoon the weather changed and snowfall started.
