Left C2 at 8:00 am and on top at 10:00 am and down to Pangboche same day (returned to BC later). 2 members Cominetti and Dagnino went 7 Nov from C1 in an attempt to reach top; reached C3 but Dagnino very tired and both returned to C1 same day. Dagnino was client of Cominetti so Cominetti could not leave Dagnino. |
