Route Notes On 2 Oct Motta Delvaux left C2 at 1:15 am (NST). Weather was calm and clear. Snow conditions were good between C2 and C3, however, after C3 there was a lot of snow and the fixed ropes were buried under the snow. When he got to about 7800m at about 7 am, Motta Delvaux decided to turn around due to high winds and too much snow. He was on his own. He retreated to C2, where he arrived at 9 am and slept for two hours. As the weather was turning worse, he took down his tent and descended to C1, where he arrived at 4 pm. On 3 Oct he descended to ABC. Maduro reached 6700m, just above the icefall at 25 Sept. He was not feeling well and decided to abandon the expedition. He descended to ABC, where he stayed for two days and left for Kathmandu on 28 Sept.
