Route Notes	Team left C3 at 3:30 am Nepali time. It was clear, lot of snow but hard, good to walk. They arrived at summit at 8:55. Niemeier was the first client to reach the top this season. When they got to the top it was very cloudy and windy (100 km per hour). They spent about 40 minutes on the summit as he hoped that the weather would clear but it did not. He is sure that he was on the real top as his Sherpa re-assured him. They descended to C2, where they arrived at 3 pm. They descended to ABC on 1 Oct.
