| Route Notes | C2 at Lhotse Face C3 at South Col. Heo, Tashi Lhakpa and Muktu Lhakpa started up for top on 10 May from C3 at 9:00 pm and reached the Balcony at 3:30 am, but no higher: strong wind, no fixed ropes, so down all the way to BC 6:00 pm tired. 14 May from BC again, 15 May to C2, 16th at South Col and at 7:00 pm Heo and Tashi up from Col and on top 6:00 am on 17 May in good weather. Spent almost 2 hours on top taking pictures, then down to 6500m camp at 5:00 pm. Tashi and Heo used oxygen in C3 to high point to C3 in both summit bids.
