Route Notes	BC at Todd's special site C1 at normal site, where climb actually begins. "I don't clip into all that stuff (old rope), I just climb it." Left C1 at 8:15 am, on top at 2:00 pm and to C1 at 6:30 pm. On "best weather day" had waited 48 hours at BC for change he could see was coming and when left mountain getting cloudy. Was in BC 30th. Made climb to take pictures of Everest for two companies making energy drink and sunglasses.
