| Route Notes | C1 at top of Icefall C2 in West Cwm C3 on Lhotse Face. 23 May left C4 for top in strong wind at 10:15 pm: Edwards, Henostroza, D. Kelly, Langlois, Rodney, Tucker, Pemba Gyalzen, Dawa Sonam, Arita, Lhakpa Rita, Tenzing, Dorje, Pasang Kitar and Tshering Dorje. Pemba Gyalzen turned back at about 8375m ("below balcony") because feet getting cold. Weather was very cold, perhaps -40 degrees and this cold wind hit battery in Edwards headlamp and froze it, making battery go dead. Tucker and Dawa Sonam turned back at base of Hillary Step. All others reached top between 6:50 and 9:00 am (Edwards was last). All in summit party slept 24th at C4 and in C2 25th. Tucker turned back because his feet were cold and he was moving too slowly; Dawa Sonam went back with him to see he got back to camp safely. |
