Summary

The three-member expedition with leader, Stuart Mclean and Ollie Saunder planned to attempt the west face of Changabang. They set up the base camp on 9th September on the Bagini glacier and attempted the summit till 6200m. They found adverse weather conditions with deep snow on the face making the climb very dangerous. A few days later a big snowfall over two days left about one and half metre snow, increasing difficulties. Hence the climb was given up.
