Hello All,

Has anyone been up Baruntse by the tourist route?

I am planning on heading up it with a group of friends next year and would appreciate some beta. Particularly about the more "technical" section toward the top, but also about gear used above base camp, and anything else that may be of consequence to us...

Didn't a couple of Nepali get wiped out there fixing ropes a couple of days ago?
