Route Notes Lundgren, Jordan Romero, Paul Romero, Ang Pasang, Pasang Karma and Lama Dawa started their summit bid from C2 on 21 May at 5:30 pm Chinese Time. They changed oxygen cylinders at C3 on their way up and rested for one hour. They reached the top at 9:45 am (7:30 NST) on 22 May and stayed 30 minutes on the summit. On their way down they rested for one and half hours at C3. They descended to C2 at 7 pm and spent the night. On 23 May descended to ABC. This team was the only team which summited from north side on that day. The weather on the summit day was sunny, wind speed was 20 km/ph and -25 very cold. The team returned to Kathmandu on 26 May and will leave on 29 May. The team will go to Antarctica in summer. Also the team has plan to try on Cho Oyu in October 2010. Milburn's high point was ABC. Accident; On 22 April while the team climbing from ABC to C1 one of the seracs at 6800m fell and created an avalanche that snapped the fix rope on which Jordan and Paul were clipped on. Both father and son suddenly lost the balance due to the snapped rope and tumbled down and Paul's head and legs was hit by Jordan's crampon. At that moment both were on the edge of the avalanche. After a while, they got up and started to move upward. Then, Jordan saw blood in his father's head. Paul had eight stitches in his head, some in his thighs.
