Route Notes BC at normal C1 site C2 at Bonington C3 C3 at route here west to left of Bonington route C4 at Bonington C6. BC to C2 same as Bonington route but not above C2 to C4 then back to Bonington route. Made variation because wanted new route. Rock fall hit 2 Sherpas on different days 5 days apart. All climbers wore helmets since from BC to C4 rock was falling. Summit 4 men started from C5 at 6:20 am & reached summit 4:10-4:15 pm; only 4 summiters because not enough food & equipment at C5 for more. Fixed 4000m rope & all left on mountain but all other gear brought down. Very difficult route. C4 reached by 5 members but summiters only one to C5. Nepalese summiters (according to Dawa Sherpa): Dawa Sherpa from Salleri, Solu, 33 yrs (his 1st 8000m summit) Dawa Tamang from Ghorekhani, 26 yrs (his 1st 8000m summit) Mingma Tamang from Chimdung, Solu, 32 yrs (scaled Makalu Aut '93) Decamp & Destiville - 22 Nov 94 Korean's route a good one, safer than Bonington route.
Accidents Rock fall hit Sarki & Dorje Sherpa, left some injury; Park Jung-Hun frostbitten toes & fingers (probably lose nothing)
