| Route Notes | No members had ventured far above BC before the earthquake struck the area on 25 April and triggered avalanches. But on 23 April all Everest (and Lhotse) members, plus 9 Sherpas, did go to just below C1 (to 5900m) and returned to BC the same day. John Tsang was with Asian Trekking on the Expedition Himalaya permit. |
