Route Notes	C2 never slept in High point at C2 site. Vicente to C1 site 23 April but weather bad and slept there 3 nights. Arrived at C2 site at 6200m but strong wind blew away 2 tents, so he and Nima Sherpa down to C1 to sleep. 27 April ABC. Again to C2 on 1 May, but again did not sleep there because again strong wind and slept in C1 and 2 May ABC. 3 May to C1 for 2 nights but once more wind drove him to ABC and climb finished. By now very tired - in fact had problem of lack of strength getting to C2 site and maybe not well acclimatized.
