CHOMOLHARI FIRST ASCENT HISTORY REVISITED

I have not yet had time to read through Alpinist 21 properly, but I noticed a picture caption on Page 82 that gives the impression that the first ascent of Chomolhari (7326m) was in 1996. The record of ascents of Chomolhari is a bit confused, and few people are aware of the significance of the epic first ascent–alpine style–by F. Spencer Chapman and team in 1937.
