Route Notes	Acclimatization: Reached C1 for the first time on 25 April, then went back just below there 5 times for acclimatization, even in bad weather. He never used C1 for sleeping as the space was too small there. Then he went for further trip to sleep at C2 and C3 then back to BC (couldn't remember the dates, didn't take any notes). Summit push: On 14 May: slept at C2 On 15-16 May: slept at C3 On 17 May: rest at C4 then started at 6pm to climb all night On 18 May: reached summit at 10 am, then went back to C4 at 6pm that day after 24 hours climbing ("very very long way, very tired') On 19 May went back to BC Yukio Matsuhira has shown good pictures taken from summit. Now he wants to go to K2. Sherpa: Nuri Sherpa, Goli-7, Solu, (2043/1/12)
