Route Notes BC at CBC/midcamp on 12 Sept at 5200m. Camacho left C3 at 4 am NST, reached summit at 12 noon, stayed on summit for 20 minutes, descended to C3 at 4 pm, slept there. He had to wait for two hours at the Yellow Band while descending to C3 because two climbers and a Sherpa were very slow and they didn't know how to use the rope. On 26th Sept Camacho descended to ABC. The summit day weather was cloudy and windy. Camacho was with Spanish Javier Zabalo on summit. On summit day there were about 8 climbers on summit, among them there was one woman with two Sherpas. Arruabarrena climbed up to C1 on 18 Sept. He had headache and did not try to go farther. Camacho saw a Coke can on the summit. The team returned to Kathmandu on 2 Oct.
