| Route Notes | Summiter Bibollet skied down from 7900m to C1 on same day as summit - too windy for him to carry up skis to top so left them at 7900m. Chappaz & sirdar Mingma went with Bibollet to C2 but went down to C1 because both had altitude sickness (Mingma vomiting all night) & went down to C1 leaving no one in C2 on summit day. Bibollet left C2 at 8 am, 2 pm on summit & after 5 mostly in fog (but did see Everest) went down - reached his skies after 30 mins perhaps; ski descent took 1-1/2 hours to C1. After his success two attempts for top but none higher than 7500m also because very cold & tired. All 3 men climbers again tried but again none of them above 7500m. |
