| Route Notes | CBC on April 22 Intermediate Camp C1 erected on 26th all members sleep. May 13: Slept in C2. Mr. Fernandez exhausted and little sick. Next morning was Ok. May 14: Left C2 at 00:30 hours. Suarez reached summit around 11:30 hours and Fernandez reached around 12:30 hours. Weather condition was very good. Leader said the Everest is very big and looks near. The sight was beyond his expectation. While coming down Fernandez was very tired and complaining from bleariness - blue red. They (both members) spent night in C3 - bivouacked inside the empty tent, no sleeping and little to eat, very cold. Next day in C2. Fernandez got medication injection, then ABC. May 19: Rest of members of the expedition attempted summit from BC. On 21st slept in C3 and had to retreat due to bad (windy) weather. Raventos left ABC on about 25 April due to altitude sickness: very bad headache, no food taken. Left Nepal maybe on April 28 or 29. The team returned to Kathmandu on May 26. Team members leave on June 1. Leader will be leaving on June 2. |
