Route Notes	19 Sept to C1 and 20th to ABC and BC 23rd on Cho Oyu. Before going to Cho Oyu, had intended to go to Everest North Col route but reached only ABC on Everest on about 3 Sept and found snow too deep for yaks and large crevasses ahead, so decided to abandon Everest and go to Cho Oyu instead. Left Everest BC on C1 Sept. Wants to return to Everest in spring season.
