Bhagirathi I
Despite sickness and very poor weather conditions, Martin Moran, John Mothersele and Charles Heard succeeded in their second attempt on the hitherto unclimbed W ridge of Bhagirathi I. With its Chamonix granite topped off by a fine snow climb, they compared it to the Peuterey Ridge Intégrale on Mont Blanc. Tragically on the descent, a metal-nut belay gave way in the course of an abseil by Charles Heard, who fell 800m to his death.
