Route Notes	C4 at near rock on West Face. 13 May 9 members started for top from C3 to C4 and from C4 on 14th started 5:00 am all together (and with Georgian Tortaladze) and at 3:00 to 3:30 pm all 9 to top (with Tortladze). At start weather good, after 5-6 hours snow started falling, some places deep snow, some had ice. 900m fixed from C4, in some places already good old rope in place, fixed all of the couloir. All 9 members used oxygen from C4 to top and back to C4; not used for sleeping (had evacuated oxygen when back to C4 anyway). All down in BC 17 May. Pashkevitch to C3 only, then got heart trouble.
