Route Notes	ABC as same as others C1 as same as others High point at C2. Cellier and Sherpa up for summit bid slept on C2 on 29 April but next day bad visability after night's snowfall and wind, so down to ABC and climb finished. There was 2-3 day window of good weather expected, but Pernollet knew he could not go to top and back in this short time, so did not go to C2.
