Route Notes Surprised by number of ropes (from C1 to the summit); there were fixed ropes all the way. Had to wait to move to C2 because of other groups on the mountain. Great weather; only had to wait to get onto the mountain because crowds. Apparently, summit day was windless but Everest was cloudy. Clouds rolled in pretty close after the summit was reached. Mike Latham, Marco Delesalle, high point 6500m at May 15; Peter Shelley on May 11.
