Route Notes	Bad weather at beginning sent him to Tingri with Ogwyn, Klein made camp at higher than almost all other teams camps because of crowding below, so no space, Made summit bid from C2 after having descended to ABC on 12th to rest. Left ABC 14th to C1, 15th to C2 and at 5:00 pm that night (15th) left C2 for summit bid, turned back about 8450m 16 May at 7:00 am in very strong wind, fresh snow and stone slabs covered by snow but not good for crampons and very very cold, so down to Indian tent at 8300m, At 10:00 am thought to go up again but rather late so finally decided to descend instead, met Owgwn at 7500m and both to ABC. Climb finished now.
