C2 destroyed also (but no one on it). Rock band more difficult then expected because didn't expect water ice; otherwise route not more difficult than expected. Ice towers after avalanche became very dangerous. No oxygen used at all. No more men on summit because Radio Nepal forecast coming of monsoon. From 23 May was a week of very bad weather. Left BC 25 May. Shailendra Sharma - 25 May 81 2 members: Josef Psotka and Ludovit Zahoransky reached summit from North Face without oxygen on 20 May afternoon. Stayed on top 20 minutes and put Czech and Nepalese flags. Climbed from C4 (7900m/25,920 ft).
