Route Notes Left C3 8 May at 5:00 am NST and on top: Ha and Gombu at 12:00 and Bae 12:35 pm. Other Korean team waited for this team to fix ropes and arrived top 2 hours later; only Koreans on top this day. On top cloudy and fog so didn't see Everest, etc., but Gombu knows where is highest top. Baek claimed top, also but not correct probably: Ha will see Baek's photos on return to KTM (Baek left mountains after Cho Oyu), but Ha and Gombu are sure his footprints show he went to a peak to the left (east) and not to true summit.
Accidents Baek 2 fingers frostbite but will heal
