Route Notes This team of two Chinese and one Norwegian member, assisted by six climbing Sherpas, were unable to climb higher than 7400m because of deep snow and the steepness of the French route from C2 (5200m) and C3 (6500m). In fact, they found it necessary to make two intermediate camps in this section. They had arrived at BC at 4200m on 21 March and established C1 on 7 April at 4800m. Their first C2 was made at 5200m on 16 April, but as they encountered difficulties with the route and its deep snow cover above this camp, they pitched their C2B on the 20th and set C2C on the following day at 5700m. At last they set up their C3 at 6500m on the 22nd and 23rd. From C3 the three members and six Sherpas set out for the top at 9:00 pm on the 23rd. At 2:00 pm on the 24th they had managed to get to 7400m. Then the weather changed: it became cloudy, snow started to fall, and a "big" wind blew up. By now they were very tired; they decided to retreat to C3 and reached there between 5:00 and 6:00 pm. Their climb was over. They left C3 at 10:00 am on the 25th. On the 26th they were back in BC at 3:00 am and five hours later the helicopter they had booked took them away from the mountain. The members had used oxygen from C3 to their high point at 7400m and back to C3. The Sherpas except for Mingma Gyalje also used it C3-high point-C3. Mingma Gyalje used none. Sherpa: Mingma Gyalje, 14/4/86, Beding, Everest X3, Manaslu X2, Kangchenjunga X1, (manager of team's trekking agency, Dreamer's Destination)
