Route Notes	BC by lake ABC below West Col High point between South and Main Summit. On 07 May team left C2 at 6 am. When they started the weather was clear, however, clouds moved in at around 10 am. Shortly above the south summit they reached the ridge, but conditions were not good. They worried about avalanches and had too little experience. At 10 am they turned back and descended to C2, arrived at 12 noon. The next day they descended to BC and left valley via Mera La. They think they could have done it with more experience. Sherpa: Mingma Nuru Sherpa, Jubing-7, Paiya, 1959-60
