Route Notes	Takeuchi left C3 at 12:40 am with 2 Sherpas. Climb was was straightforward even thogh the weather was bad (wind and clouds); however it was clear when they reached the summit. They could see all the way to Namche. When Takeuchi went up, they saw a Slovenian man, who later died 50m below the summit. He was on his way and seemed okay.
