Route Notes	Began summit push on 14 May at 1:30 am. Summited at 12:30 pm, spent 15 minutes on summit, then descended to C2. Perfect weather conditions except a nasty cold side wind from the south (I think it was south). Felt pretty awful all the way. Had had a irritating viral chest infection of 2 months and it never let go. Felt fatigue, cold, cheats pain etc. Took oxygen 100 vertical meters from the summit and back to same spot.
