Route Notes	Summiters of 30 Sept started at midnight from C2; Stular stronger and therefore faster. No tracks to follow as snow had fallen and obliterated it. Also avalanches often this autumn. Both saw Everest, returned to C2 same night. Stular arrived 5:00 and Oderlep at 8:00 pm. Almost all members tried to go to top from C2.
Accidents	Zver cerebral edema; Kokakj 4 toes frostbitten but will heal
