Route Notes	Team left C4 at 9 pm on 18 May. It was very busy, lot of waiting. Many people on summit; spent 10 minutes on summit, descended to C4, arrived at 4 pm. On 20 May they took snowboards which they had left at C4 and boarded down from Yellow Band to C3. Scarth took 30 minutes, Wrath took 2-1/2 hours. When they reached C3 they decided that boarding was too difficult and dangerous and carried their boards to C2 and arrived at 4 pm. On 21 May to BC.
