Route Notes Hoskinson, Lewinson, Walsh, Lhakpa, Dendi and Jangbu were at C2 on 2 November planning to go to a higher camp, but due to bad snow conditions the team had to call off the expedition. Szymiec suffered from high altitude sickness at C1. He was helicoptered from BC on 30 October. Pervite went up to C1 and that was enough for him and left with Szymiec. Szymiec spent a few days in Kathmandu for his treatment and has already left Nepal. Sherpas: Lhakpa Dendi Jangbu
