Most members of this 'Red Rope' expedition were making their first visit to the Greater Ranges, and selected the Lahul area of India as a suitable area to cut their teeth. The first ascent of CBI 1, 6,044m, was their principal objective, and five members of the team achieved this by a couloir on the NW Face. Following the expedition, they renamed the mountain 'Independence Peak'.
