Route Notes Ben Kane (email) - 21 Nov 2012 We didn't submit any return info for our trip, and I did think that was unusual as either Miss Hawley or an assistant usually approaches us upon our return to KTM. Anyway, you're correct, myself and 4 members summited between 11:30 am and 12:00 pm on the 24th of Nov. Looking back at some notes it appears as though we arrived in BC (normal Ama Dablam BC) on the 18th Nov after our Island Peak climb. Moved to C1 (5400m) on the 22nd, C2 (5950m) on the 23rd, summit 24th. We departed BC on the 27th. These are the members who summited: Benjamin Kane (leader) Meagan McGrath Bryson McLellan Colin Carnahan Siddhi Bahadur Tamang There was nothing unusual except for some rather large crevasses opening up on the summit that were not present in Oct 2007 on my previous summit.
