The Reclusive Changabang 2

It made route finding very difficult and concealed deadly crevasses eagerly awaiting a careless step. Often we had to retrace our steps to find the right way to get to Shipton's Col on the shoulder with its nearest neighbour Kalanka, where a Slovenian team was making an attempt on its formidable North Face.
