Route Notes For summit push team left C3 at 2 am. They got to 8050m when Supica slipped and slid down the couloir. For about 300m he managed to self-arrest and did not hurt himself. He slipped again on way down about 300m above C3 and sprained his ankle. Team would have carried on and probably summited if Supica had not fallen. Sherpa Dendi (3X Everest) had his tooth taken out by Harendarick due to infection on 26 Sept. On 28 Sept he climbed up from C1 to fix rope. At about 6000m he was hit by an avalanche. He managed to jump into a hole for protection. He injured his left arm (contusion of muscle). Nemcon got frostbite on 5 toes on right foot and 3 on left foot (2nd Degree). He noticed after 2nd summit push at C3. Supica got frostbite on 3 toes on left foot (1st degree). Team had another summit attempt on 6 Oct. Mysiak, Nemcok and Svancar got to 7700m but turned back at 12 noon due to much snow. Bizon got to C1 but abandoned climb due to back pain. Hanzel and Holy got to C2 but abandoned climb due to fatigue. Harendarick to C1 but didn't want to go higher as his duty was being the exped doctor. Vargic got to C1 but lacked motivation to go on. Lhakpa Sherpa got to 7500m on 4 Oct but turned back due to cold hands.
