It was our mistake that we only focused the top too much and ignored the much more tougher glaciers and boulders area after the pass

But a couple of our members not feeling well so we have to wait for them. In ascend route was clear but in glacier any one can get lost the way as everything was confused under huge monsters

It was the last shot for the time being when a severe rain fall have started. First we have to trek under that rain. then we reached to the temporary shelter which have established by our porter team Team stayed there for a hour or half then decided to continue our trek under heavy rain to come out from the glacier area.
