Route Notes	High point on 19 May at 7300m by Dawa Tenzing and Pepper. Team took about 8 hours from C2 to C3, where they arrived at 3 pm. Pepper talked to Damian Benegas on the radio, who told her that the rope had not been fixed all the way to the top and the conditions were very bad (rockfall), so they decided to descend the following day to BC. On 21st they walked to Pheriche and the following day they took a helicopter to Kathmandu. Oxygen: Taken and used from 7000m to C3 to C2 by Pepper. Sherpa: Dawa Tenzing, Thamo, Khumbu 21/3/1986
