Route Notes	BC at CBC/IC on 16th at 5300m. May 12 La Terra reached up to 7500m. He realized that there is no feeling in his fingers due to cold and turned around. La Terra arrived KTM on May 16 and will leave the country on June 26. He said he will be going to Annapurna. La Terra agreed to meet me [again] on May 19, but he did not turn up. The information about the camps and dates may not be reliable. He said that he had been to Dhaulagiri (up to 6980m) and Annapurna (up to 7100m) in 2004 May, but not be true or he just went to both mountains without any permit.
Accidents	Suffered from bronchitis at C1 on 20th (went down to CBC and spent about one week to recover)
