Route Notes Tyler Andrew's Two Summit Attempts for Fastest Known Time (FKT): First attempt (22 Sept): Left BC at 8:17 pm, turned around at 7400m due to unstable snow and increasing winds on the Lhotse face. Second attempt (25 Sept): Left BC at 8:20 pm, reached the S Col at 7900m at 6:46 am on 26 Sept, but did not contine due to deep snow above the col. Lakpa Sherpa and Phurbu Sherps, who went ahead of him to prepare the route, were unable to make sufficient progress due to the snow conditions above the col. The Czechs planned to ski down Everest, but gave up at 6800m and 7500m on 30 Sept.
