| Route Notes | 13 Oct Garson, Flower and Dawa left C1 for C2 at 9:30 am and near 6000m here found snow conditions bad. At 11:00 am down to Pangboche as clouds were coming in. Now no more time to make another bid. Caire did not go up from C1 with his teammates because he could see weather was changing.
