Route Notes	Team left BC at 10 am on 24 Nov. Weather was clear but windy they arrived at C1 at 3 pm. They pitched their tent about 100m below C1 as Nicholson was already feeling ill. They had some tea but after 1 hour they descended to BC, where they arrived at 7 pm. Nicholson felt better, once he was at BC. They all returned together because they wanted to climb as a team. Also lack of motivation due to avalanche of 13 Nov.
