Report of the expedition

* American Alpine Jornal 1975 and 1977 report 1974: We abandoned our plan to climb the south and west ridges. Remaining possibility was to follow the main stream of the Sherpi Gang Glacier and to reach the Sherpi-La 5930m . The final attempt to Sherpi Kangri-2 was done to the 6500m elevation on the south-east ridge.
