The view just displayed looks like the SW Face climbed by the Bonnington expedition in 1975, which put Dougal Haston and Doug Scott on top
What a epic expedition that was, first to climb the south west face and finally after all the previous expeditions/attempts British born climbers achieved the summit. From memory after Scott and Haston summited at 6pm in the evening they descended down to the south summit and decided to make camp in a small snow cave and endure a night above 8000m.
