Route Notes	BC 17/04 4900m ABC 21/04 5500m HPt 25/04 6000m on glacier. On 25 April when the earthquake hit, the team was carrying material towards C1. They were at about 6000m, when the earth started shaking. They immediately noticed it was a quake and even though they were worried about the seracs hanging over ABC, they descended to ABC. When the decision was taken to close Tibet for climbing, they left ABC on 27 April and descended to CBC.
