Route Notes	High point at 6400m just below C3 site on SW ridge. 11 May Bokov and Lebedev tried to go around difficulty at 6400m but were unable to do so. 12 May back in BC. Climb finished. Do not believe it was possible for Swiss to have reached summit with ice conditions as they were with ice screws not holding.
