Route Notes	Mueller left C3 at 0:30 am. He spent about one hour on the summit and planted a free Tibet flag. He descended all the way to C1, where he arrived at 3 pm Chinese time. Kuust and Gerster climbed to C1 on 24 Sept. However they were too tired to carry on their cooker and it did not work, so they went back to ABC the next day.
