Route Notes	This successful expedition put 11 of its 13 members and all of its 7 Sherpas on the summit on three different days; only two members didn't make a summit attempt, but they stayed with the team to the end; and no one, member or Sherpa, had a serious health problem. The first to go to the top were Ballinger, Baranov, Geluk, Peele and Spruzs, with Sherpas Dawa Nuru, Dorje Sonam Gyalzen and Palden Namgye. Ballinger left for the top at 5:00 am on 26 October from C1 while all others left from C2.7 at the same time; everyone was on the summit by 8:47 am, and they descended all the way to BC between 3:30 and 6:45 pm that day. In the second summit party were Ballinger (again from BC), Gibans, Gildor, Dawa Nuru (again from C2), Pasang Rinji, Tenjing Gyalzen and Palden Namgye (again from C2), who summited on 1 November. And finally on the 2nd, Bergsma, Carder, Peele (again from BC), Sherwood and Warren with Ngima Chhiri and Karma Gyalzen. Non-summiting members: Ries and Tracey reached 6100m together on 27 October, but they went no higher because the climb was too difficult technically for them. Sherpas: Dawa Nuru (Danuru), 26/10/78, Phortse, Everest X4, Cho Oyu X8, Manaslu X1 Dorje Sonam Gyalzen, 24/5/81, Phortse, Everest X15, Cho Oyu X1, Manaslu X3, Lhotse X1 Karma Gyalzen, 22/4/87, Phortse, Everest X2 Ngima Chhiri/Nima Tshering, 22/4/72, Phortse, Everest X4, Lhotse X2, Manaslu X3 Pasang Rinji, 18/1/77, Phortse, Everest X5 Palden Namgye/Namchen, 20/9/72, Phortse, Everest X7, Lhotse X4, Manaslu X1, Annapurna I X1 Tenjing Gyalzen, 2/7/91, Phortse, Everest X1
