After crossing snow pinnacles & headwall, Camp 1 is fixed at 6400m. on a broad plateau. After climbing snow slopes and the headwall to the Col. , camp 2 is established at 7000m on a massive plateau.. Climbing a few stretches of steep and mostly easy snow leads to shoulder at 7400m. where Camp 3 can be established at a rock-crowned flat buttress.
