Leader said out of 7 Germans, 4 got frostbite. Tom Richardson, leader of OTT Cho Oyu expedition, said on 2 Oct the footprints [of Mario Pelliciari, two Italians Franco Martinelli and Guilliaume Pargaud and two Australians Matt Carlin and Mark Savage] suggested they went to left on summit plateau, not to top [on 20 Sept]. Summit area in clouds but Italians had GPS and got within 15m of top but probably did not get to true summit. Pargaud attempted again on 24 Sept.
