The summiters H. Watanabe and Lhakpa Tsering died on their way down from a fall between Camps V and IV. The mountaineering world has yet to lay down the law on the recognition of ascents where the summiters are involved in fatal accidents before reaching any of the team members—the French on Nanda Devi comes easily to mind. The Japanese in this instance would have a better case than the French who were never seen again. For full article see the present issue of the H.J.—ED.
