Was sick from very beginning of the expedition, went back to KTM to recover for a while, then back to the mountain. Eventually left BC on same day with Dean Maher on May 18. Sirak Seyoum (both nationalities USA/Ethiopia) passed the South Summit, down to the col below where he stopped due to dehydration. Jayesh Morvankar high point slightly higher than C3 on May 15.

No down at all in the gloves, jacket, etc. Found the camps relatively clean except C4. Everest North next year or Manaslu without oxygen?
