Route Notes	Crellin & Dorje arrived at BC at 9:00 pm because they didn't know where BC was on the way to it. Crellin arrived "totally shattered" from past three days, very bad head cold that led to very painful sinusitis (he was unwell the entire time he was on Dhaulagiri). C1 was 300m lower than normal site because they didn't know where C1 should be. They went there on 30 Sept, down to BC on 1 Oct, 4 Oct to C1, 5 Oct to 6700m. Teams were pulling out because of deep snow on mountain. Crellin lost 10 kgs on this trip. Sherpa: Dorje Sherpa, 22/6/70 (8/3/2027), Tapting-9, Solu, Lhotse X1, Makalu X1
