| Route Notes | High point at just below C2. Team left C1 at 8 am on 20 Oct. Weather was clear but windy. They got to the point where they had deposited their tents on 13 Oct, then decided to turn back due to high winds. They could not carry on to C2 as it would have been too windy to pitch tent. They picked up their tent and returned to ABC where they arrived at 4 pm. On 21 Oct Verdier and Dawa Sherpa (cook) ascended to C1 to collect tents. |
