Route Notes Team left C2 at 3 am and got to high point at 5:30 am. They descended 200m to the Pass, where they arrived at 7 am. The team decided collectively that it was too late and they were too tired to go on. They think they made a mistake by not having a third camp. They descended to BC the same day, where they arrived at 6 pm. Team came back from Nar by helicopter as they were stranded there due to too much snow. They could not cross pass to Hongde.
