Route Notes	From C4 on 22nd at 11:30 pm were 6 summiters and Edwards and Norbu (Rolwaling); Edwards turned back at 8500m (on his 3rd attempt on Everest) because loss of vision in one eye related to altitude and Norbu back down with him "but I did my job: I was hired to put Jamie and Alan on the top" (other team did its job - Jeff and Jason were hired). We participated in 3 rescues: Dave Carter of Guy Cotter's team Hugo Rodriguez of OTT team Karsang Sherpa of Italian Lhotse Team (Edwards pulled into crevasse and pulled and got him out - cheek pulled open - Rovira and Cotter's Dr stitched his face) Matous never went to Khumbu because of slipped discs (during long flight to Nepal?). Jason Edwards became leader.
