Route Notes	Francois and Mingma Tsiri started their summit push from C3 at 6 am on 18 Nov. When they reached at 6500m at about 8 am on the way up, at that point ice was very hard and very difficult to tackle steps. Then Francois decided to turn around. They descended to C1, spent the night. Next day 19 Nov they descended to BC. Francois may go to Cho Oyu next year. Sherpas: Mingma Tsiri, 1/08/70 (17/4/2027), Beding, Everest X15, Cho Oyu X3, Manaslu X1
