Route Notes	C1 at top of Icefall C2 in Western Cwm C3 below normal C3 High point at Dash's low C3. Dash was danger to herself and to others with her; did not know how to put crampons on and bought all her clothing and gear in KTM. In C2 Hugyh, after her return from Lhotse Face and his return from top 18th, told her she could do no more climbing (he was nominal leader). No Sherpas wanted to climb with her. Took her 11 hours to reach C1, 4 hours to C2, 11-1/2 hours to her low C3. Always a different Asian Trekking Sherpa with her.
