Account of the 1974 first ascent of Kangbachen and the 1978 first ascents of Kangchenjunga’s Middle and South Peaks. Unfortunately, on the latter climb, the team had permission for the Main summit, not for these two peaks, and the leader, Piotr Mlotecki, was banned from Nepal for five years. Two American’s were part of this large Polish team. See also Branski’s and Mloteckiego’s accounts of the Kangbachen climb and Mloteckiego’s account of the Kangchenjunga climb. In Polish, no English translation.
