Route Notes BC at usual BC site below the ridge C2 above towers between the two icefalls. On Oct 22 Llatser had to descend from 200m below the summit to C1 due to vomit with blood and chest pain. All three members also vomited at night at C2 and the following day while descending. At BC all got well. The team did not use their ropes as ropes were already fixed. Some places they found as much as nine fixed ropes. They also found a part of wall/tower equipped with ladder. Campsites including BC were clean. Garbage were collected and kept at one area. Sherpas were doing very good job in keeping campsites. BC clean. Weather was excellent. There was little snowfall on Oct 17/18.
