Route Notes	Blanco Sanchez and Sherpa spent night in C1. During the night Blanco Sanchez's feet got very cold; he thinks probably to lack of proper circulation of blood. Descended to ABC on 30th and to CBC on May 1. Returned to Kathmandu on May 2 and leaving Nepal on May 4. Sherpa was Lhakpa Nuru, 22/11/80, Thami, who stayed on Everest and summited with Turkish expedition on 15 May and 24 May.
