Route Notes	ABC highest ABC High point at yellow band. 13 May, when 3 who reached highest point, started up from C3 in clear weather but a little wind but by the time they had reached 7700m, clouds coming in and wind got stronger, decided to go down and slept in C1. De Bos slept in C3 nights of 23 and 24 for summit bid, but weather (very cold wind) prevented going higher. 2 tents had been completely damaged and 3rd collapsed, so down 25 May to C1A to sleep and climbing finished. Just to get down from C1 to ABC took 6-1/2 hours from exhaustion. Other members simply did not want to climb any more. Sherpa death: Chhong Rinzee, Beding, Cho Oyu X4. In ABC 27 April and turned back on 28th to BC to get more supplies. 30 April up towards ABC and about 6 hours above BC and 2 hours below ABC, 2 Sherpas and some Tibetans found him sitting, slumped forward, probably dead already; cause unknown (Russell Brice's Sherpas told him Chhong Rinzee was drunk).
Accidents	Stam pulmonary edema (left team 10 May and returned to BC 18 May); Chhong Rinzee collapsed dead
