Route Notes	C1 at North Col High point at above top of First Step near Second Step. Had 1 Sherpa Jangbu who set up tent for Miletic at each campsite. 24 May tired to go to top but between 1st and 2nd Step. "I am afraid" because saw frozen bodies and oxygen bottles getting finished (1/3 left) and time (1:00 pm NST) and lost power in 5 days wait in C3 waiting for Jangbu to bring oxygen and food. "Dirty game" between Tortladze and Jangbu, that Jangbu does not come up. Boris of Russian team just above him - went down to C3 rest ABC 26 May, 27 May to ABC. Georgians described Miletic as "crazy" irrational.
