Route Notes Tshering Dorje and Phurba Chhoter left ABC at 1:30 pm on 1 May. They reached C3 at 1 pm and had a rest there. They started again at 2 am and reached the top at 7 am (NST). They used oxygen from 7500m to summit to 7500m. However, they stayed on summit for 2 hours without oxygen. They put a 12 kg heavy statue of Buddha and an 8 party flag on summit. Statue is in a box of about 1 meter. They left summit at 9 am and descended to ABC. Arrived at 1 pm. Weather was very good, not cold. 15 May summit team left C3 at 10:30 pm on 14 May. Route busy. Summited at 6:00 am, spent half an hour on summit. Descended to C1. Arrived at 4 pm. BC on 16 May. Tshering Dorje descended only to C3 as he was going back up again on same day. 16 May summit team left C3 at 10:30 pm on 15 May. It was snowing. When they reached 2nd Step at 1:30 am they were thinking about retreating due to snowfall. But weather report from Delhi said it would be clear later, and at 3 am it cleared. Summited at 6:00 am, stayed 30 minutes and descended to ABC, arrived at 4 pm. On 17 May they descended to BC. Pathare reached C1 on 27 April together with Thapa. Thapa had decided to stay at North Col to coordinate expedition and not go to summit. However, this would have reduced number of members to 13, which is an unlucky number, so Thapa decided to keep the youngest member back. The team did not have a camp at the normal C2 site.
