The next advance was a by-product of the international expedition to Kanchenjunga led by Günter Dyhrenfurth in 1930. The attempt on Kanchenjunga itself was abandoned after an avalanche had killed Chettan Sherpa, but members of the team stayed to climb a number of smaller peaks in the area. Erwin Schneider, who had barely escaped the avalanche, broke his own summit record twice in two weeks: on 24 May he solo-climbed Nepal Peak near Kirat Chuli, and on 3 June Hermann Hoerlin and he climbed Jongsong Peak, planting a Swabian and Tyrolean flag on top.
