| Route Notes | 24 April Ko and 2 Sherpas in summit bid from C4 at 6:00 am and reached 6700m at 11:00 am after having crossed crevasses but stopped at 6700m, where he could see route too long to reach top and return to C4 same day, so abandoned attempt and returned to C3 because C4 exposed to avalanche; there was avalanche activity but team not actually affected. Yi went to C4 with Ko and 3 Sherpas on 23rd April but Yi and Nima Dorje did not join summit attempt on 24th because Yi had bad headache and could not go higher and descended to C3. Oh to C3 only. Lee stayed in BC throughout climb. Sherpas: Nima Dorje Sherpa (7/10/80), Makalu-5, Tumlingtar, Sankhuwasabha De Chhumbe Sherpa (22/9/87), Makalu-5 Mingma Thinduk Sherpa (14/9/69), Tumlingtar |
