The third expedition is in progress. After initial retreats under pressure of blizzards and snow drifts the climbers are determined to scale the summit. Even here the first attempt fails. Norton and Somerville climbed up to 28100 ft, but the extreme fatigue that resulted from initial hazards had taken the toll. They had to turn back.

The second effort ended. This ended in a disaster. Seven people perish under an avalanche, in spite of every effort, every precaution extended by the team. The team however establishes a record. Climbing as high as 27000 ft, where no person ever, not even a living thing has reached. Taking lessons from this and earlier failure, preparations are to start for another attempt.
