Route Notes	McKeever and Lhakpa left C3 at 9:30 pm on 15 May with Beadle's team. The day started off snowing but cleared at daylight. After summiting, they descended to C3, where they arrived at 3:00 pm. When he got to C3 he could not open his eyes. He said he had taken off his glasses on summit for 5 minutes. On 17 May he descended to C1. Robin Beadle helped him down as he could not see. It took him two days until he could open his eyes again. Pritt reached 7200m on 14 May. He felt altitude sickness and turned back to ABC and waited there for McKeever. Sherpa: Lhakpa Tshering Sherpa, 17/07/76, Pangboche, no 8000ers
