Route Notes	Pou not very well in C3 from summit day and fingers getting cold (very cold day and windy so went to 6500m and down to C3 to wait for return of all others, who reached top 17:00 pm. Late in C3 that night because strong wind and they tired (had left C3 for top at 8:30 am after became warmer). BC on 15th. This climb was as acclimatization for Juanito in climb of K2.
