Route Notes	Had to spend four hours building site for C1; had very good relations with Pawlowski, who did most of rope fixing on route. From summit return to C2 to be sure to make further descent safely & went to BC on 27th. "Not so easy" this mountain. No Sherpas above BC for climbing, but 5 to clear C1.
