Route Notes	3 May tried to reach top but difficult hard ice and had to take time to ascend with fixing short ropes, removing them and reusing above. Reached about 6500m and realized could not make top that day, so returned to C3 and stayed there 4th night also. 5th May left C3 6:30 am and got to top at 5:00 pm; slept in C3 5-6th. 7th slept in C2, C1 and BC (members scattered). Had used other team's ropes below C3 and this made climb faster. If no such ropes available maybe not to top.
