Route Notes BC at CBC/IC on 15t April at 5950m ABC at usual camp site C1 at North Col (little lower) C2 at lower than usual campsite C3 at lower than usual campsite. Tisalema left his top camp (8100m) at midnight (NST) of May 15, summited at 13:00 hours on the 16th stayed on summit about 20 minutes, it was late and very tired. Tisalema descended to 8300m had rest for a while in one of the Sherpa's tents then descended to his top camp at 8100m, collected his things, then went down to C2 (7500m) where he reached at 21:30 hours - very exhausted. About 8 people were on the summit ahead of Tisalema. On his way up he met at Second Step descending climbers all with oxygen. He saw about 4 or 5 dead bodies between 8600m to 8700m. Tisalema said that he felt very hard to go up after 8750m without oxygen. When he reached at 8800m he was thinking to give up his attempt for summit as his head became heavy. The summit day weather was windy and there were cloud on the summit. He saw lots of prayer flags on the summit. About 50 meters below the summit there were lots of oxygen cylinders. Tisalema returned to Kathmandu on May 22 and will leave on 23rd. He plans to attempt any of these mountains K2, Lhotse, Shisapagma or south side of Everest next year.
