After the summit, both members trekked to BC of Island Peak. Returned to KTM on May 21 and to leave on 24th. Above C3 very deep glacier but ropes were okay so no problems. Just above C3 very hard ice - blue ice, then snow Lots of rope - 15, one after the other C2->C3 - most ropes on very steep part (6100m) 29th April snowing in Pangboche - only good after May 04. Clear day on summit. Tactic - went very slow, had good food.
