| Route Notes | C2 in Wesetern Cwm C3 on Lhotse Face C4 at South Col. Only one summit bid, which was original plan (safer to have larger group together). 10 people left C4 on 10th at 0:20 hrs to go to top. Mauduit got cold at 8200m and Cotter turned back with her to guide her down safely. Ball at 8100m quite ill from hemorrhaging sinuses and bleeding into mask so couldn't see. Mauduit tried on 17th to go to top with Catalans and turned back, again too cold, below S Summit (reason cold probably not moving fast enough). Oxygen: Chantal Maudit not all; most others who slept in C3, climbed from C3 upwards; all others at and above C4. Sherpas summiters: (Everest is 1st 8000m summit for all 3) Ang Chumbi, 42, Khumjung Ang Dorje, 22, Pangboche (Citizenship papers give his name as Chuldin - family named him Chuldin Dorje) Nuru Sherpa, Beding |
