Other non-summiting members: Lehuin reached 6100m on the 15th, was tired and descended to BC. His toes got frosbitten on the 15th and 16th; they turned purple but not black, will heal. He left BC by helicopter on the 19th. Mosedale went to C2 on the 14th. Lehuin had dropped his sleeping bag while he was on his way to C2 that day, so Mosedale gave him his own sleeping bag and retreated to BC.
