Route Notes	Summit push reached 3 Oct C3 and 4 Oct for top. Left C3 at 10:30 pm (NST) by Boldbaatar and Sherpa Mingma Dorje Lama. Reached summit plateau about 4:00 am in very strong wind - only people to try for top that day. Stopped at plateau and turned back because wind blowing tiny pieces of ice and could not see. Slept night of 4th in C2: reached C2 with difficulty to final trail in deep soft snow. Now too tired to try again. To ABC 5th.
