Route Notes Summit team left C3 at 4:30 am. Weather was calm and clear. Snow condition good. Good views from the summit. Nagaoka spent nearly two hours on the summit as he was waiting for all his members to arrive. They descended to C2, where they wanted to spend the night but it was too crowded there, so they descended to C1, where they arrived at 4 pm. On 7 Nov they descended to BC. Shimizu reached 6200m on 3 Nov. However he descended to BC the same day as he had pain in his right foot. On his return to Kathmandu he went to CIWEC. But they did not find anything wrong with it.
