Route Notes	Galvan left C4 at 2:30 am. The weather was clear. When he reached the couloirs, the weather turned bad with very strong winds. There was no fixed rope in the couloirs (he climbed before the commercial expeditions fixed it a few days later). When he reached the summit the weather was very bad. No views at all. He took some video on the summit and descended after about 15 minutes to CIV, where he arrived at 5 pm. On 19 May he descended to C2 and on 20 May BC. He left BC on 21 May. He carried everything himself. Oxygen: not taken, not used
