Route Notes	High point on 17 ay at 7400m by Dado, Montolli, Orlando and Pema Chosang. Team intending to reach the summit on 19 May. It took them about nine hours to get to C3. From C2 they saw the serac collapse at C3, during which a Sherpa was injured and several tents were destroyed. They spoke with their Sherpa about the fixed rope and as nothing was fixed in the couloirs, they decided to abandon their summit attempt. They descended to C2 on 18 May and BC on 19 May. They left 21 May and walked to Lukla. Oxygen: taken, not used. Sherpa: Pema Chhosang, Khumjung, 30/4/1972
