| Route Notes | Had emergency biv at C2 site but didn't even use it. Summit bid on 7th by Addison, Gott, Hurvig, Legate, Lyle and two Sherpas. Left C3 7:00 am, [Gott, Hurvig and Sherpas] on top 2:00 pm and back to C3 at 5:00 pm. All other members to C1 that day except Brown who went down on 6th and Roberts had left on 30 Nov. Fixed 100m of rope (+100m for Japanese team with their rope since this team had Sherpas to do the job and Japanese had no Sherpas). Roberts left expedition 30 Nov; reached 5200m and turned back, could not go higher because too lightly built and had no energy. Summit Sherpas: Ang Chhiring, Pangboche, no 8000ers Pasang Dawa, aka "Pando", Pa Dawa, Pangboche, Everest X2, Lhotse & Cho Oyu |
