Route Notes	Summit team left C2 at 1:10 am on 1 Oct. Weather was clear. Good views of Everest. They spent between 20 minutes and 45 minutes on the summit. On they way up they used the route put in by Brice, which veers off to the left just below C3 and rejoins the normal route just above the rock band. They descended on the normal route to C2, where they arrived between 16:15 pm and 6 pm. The next day they descended to ABC. Aakvik got to 7700m on summit day but turned back at 7 am due to exhaustion; returned to C2 where he waited for his fellow climbers.
