Route Notes C1 at North Col High point at North Face. Plan for Georgians, Barth and Anna to go to C2 on 24th, C3 at 8300m on 28th and top on 26th. Anna had to turn back at 7850m on 25th because her test of oxygen system proved oxygen mask did not fit properly and therefore could not see. So climb finished because others had gone to top, yaks coming to ABC evening 28th and no kitchen to be available. This first time Anna used oxygen and did not know well about mask fitting over her glasses (could bring contact lenses). "I am so angry" - "I'm so ashamed." Will come again to Everest next spring from south side because unlucky on north side on 3rd attempt this way and "bored" with north side.
