Route Notes High point slightly over on West Face above the Dablam. Rockelman slow and too slow to go to top. Gusty winds which were very cold so Warner, who could have reached top quickly ("conservative guide"), slept in C2 night of 13 Nov while Hastings and Murphy went down to BC and climb finished because they had no enthusiasm or strength to return to climb.
Accidents Murphy's stomach problem kept him at C2 but not serious
