| Route Notes | C1 at start of unbroken Cwm C3 on Lhotse Face C4 at South Col. Adventure Consultants Everest led by Guy Cotter - Spring 2007 1st summit bid by Michael Roberts party left C4 at 9:30 pm in 19 May, on top 5:00 am of 20th and C4 9:30 am and down to C2 at 1:30 pm. Second summit party left C4 10:00 pm of 20 May and on top from 7:04 to 7:33 am of 21 May. All stayed at col from noon to 3:30 pm. These people also helped get USA member down from South Col afternoon of 21st (she had been told at BC by HRA doctors and Grocott members because she had chest infection she should not climb). Summiters: 20 May: Hayden, Roberts, Pasang Bhote, Lhakpa Dorje, Nima Dorje. 21 May: Arnett, Benitez, Burrows, Cotter, Gillespie, Glorie, Moore, Sedon, Pasang Tenzing, Dawa Jangbu, Phu Tashi, Sonam Jangbu, Pemba Chhoti, Mingma Tenzing, Sange Dorje, Temba Sherpa, Tendi Sherpa, Tashi Thundu, Phurba Ridar Bhote, Dawa Finjo Lama Bhote. David Tait made a north-south traverse with Phurba Tashi and summited on 16 May. He belonged to Russell Brice's team on the north side and was a member of this expedition for his descent on the south side -- and for his ascent from the south side in his proposed double traverse, which he did not actually attempt [listed on Brice's team]. Non-summiting members: Dunjey reached 6300m on 1 May, mountain too big and climate too cold, left expedition 3 May. McGibbon got to South Summit on 21 May, ran out of steam, returned to C4. Slachman reached C3 on 1 May, but was moving too slowly and was told on 15 May he could not be in a sumit party, so went no higher. Oxygen: Members in C3 to summit to C3 Sherpas from C4 to summit to C4 Accidents, etc: only serious medical problems were Moore's abscessed tooth, which was taken care of at BC by Hayden, a dentist, and his four cracked ribs caused by heavy coughing while on his way to the summit.
