Route Notes	Baranowska and Sklodowska left C3 at 3:45 am on 1 May. Sklodowska turned back to C2 from about 100m below [above?] C3 as she was tired. Baranowska reached summit at 3:15 pm, stayed on summit about 15 minutes, descended to C3 around midnight. Next day descended to C1 and following day to BC. Summit day was very windy and very cold, one Catalan and one Argentinean also summited. Baranowska helped both climbers (Catalan & Argentinean). While descending as both of them were without headlamps. Baranowska was on summit together with Marta (Spanish woman). About 15 climbers summited on 1 May. Sklodowska was weak due to antibiotics which she took while she had fever in BC. Also, she got news of passing away of her mother during the expedition. The team returned to Kathmandu from BC by helicopter on 6 May and trying to leave on 8 or 9 May. Baranowska planning to go for Gasherbrum I or Manaslu, next year.
