| Route Notes | Two members Coubal and Kubicek got chest infections: Coubal went only to ABC left expedition 4 May; Kubicek reached C1 then left expedition on 7th May "leaving Cho Oyu to me." Kurowski went up to 6850m on 14th, returned to C1 and stayed there till 17 May, then down to ABC. Problem was there was no good weather period long enough for summit bid: every day it snowed in afternoon. |
