Route Notes	14 May from C2 Warner started for top at 10:00 am and on to C3 mid-afternoon. Left C3 at midnight and got top 3:00 pm via couloir. To east wall of clouds but to west clear, no wind. Back to C3 to sleep, down to C2 16th and BC on 17th. During summit push got stomach bug in C2 and developed bronchitis on route to C3. No frostbite. Constant rockfall all summit day (spent more time hiding than climbing). Henry Todd - 31 May Warner used Todd's camps and food to C3, then climbed by himself.
