| Route Notes | Used oxygen from 7500m. Duncan climbed with Julian Thompson and Dawa Sherpa. He returned back to ABC the same day. He used oxygen from 7500m to high point and down to 7500m again. Russell Brice - 13 June 2005 Chessell went to Everest as a deputy leader of Brice's expedition but he didn't fit in with the clients on this commercial expedition nor with the Sherpas, so Brice sacked him on 10th April and left BC same day. Chessell went back to KTM and returned to Everest with Jamie McGuinness's expedition (as independent climber). |
