| Route Notes | Brice was overall leader for three expeditions: to Everest, Lhotse and Nuptse. Woodward was leader of the Everest team. The Everest group left KTM for Lukla on 31 March. They went to BC on 9 April, but before attempting Everest, they went to nearby Lobuche East for an acclimatization climb. All of them went to its summit on 17 April and again on 19 April; they spent the 19th aand 20th on the summit. One member, David Tait, went to the top of Everest on 10 May at 12:14 pm with the rope fixers. The other 11 members of the expedition, except for the Binsack and Brice, with 11 Sherpas, left C4 at 11:00 pm on 22 May, reached the summit between 4:38 and 5:40 am on the 23rd, and descended all the way to BC the next day, the 24th. (The members who summited on the 23rd were: Fang, Hasler, Hellmuth, Perez, Rafferty, Spruzs, Tamura, Jing Wang, Wei Wang, Woodward and Wu.) Non-summiting members on 23 May: Binsack reached 7400m on 4 May in the acclimatization climb, then became sick (not seriously) and stayed in BC thereafter. Brice was in BC throughout the climb, as is his custom. Tait had already summited on the 10th. Oxygen was used by the members of the summit party from C3 to the top and down as far as C2. The Sherpas used it from C4 to the summit and down to C2.
