Route Notes	From ABC to C3 this team climbed on their own but higher up had Sherpas with them. Lim left C3 to top on 21st Sept at 2:30 am NST with Mingma Chhiring Sherpa and on top 10:15 am, saw Everest very briefly in windy cloudy day; on top with David Morton's team; down to C1 to sleep. Lim used oxygen night of 20th in C3 and to top to C1 to finish it but Mingma used none. Goh from C3 27th Sept 1:30 am from top with Kami Tshering Sherpa, on top at 7:15 am, saw Everest in clear day, down to ABC 3:00 pm. Goh and Kami used no oxygen at all. Lim left C3 for another summit bid 30 Sept 1:30 am with Dorje, on top 10:30 am in beautiful weather and down to ABC to sleep at 7:00 pm. Both Lim and Dorje used no oxygen on this ascent. Lim used oxygen first ascent because had not been on 8000m summit before and not sure how he would make out; also acclimatized more slowly than Goh.
