| Route Notes | BC 18/04 5350m C1 27/04 5900m C2 29/04 6440m C3 21/05 7000m C4 22/05 7800m Smt 23/05 by Matthew Williams and Lhakpa Tendu Sherpa at 9 am, Thomas Taylor and Pasang Nuri Sherpa at 3 pm. Summit team left C4 at 2 am. Straightforward climb. They stayed an average of about 10 minutes on the summit. Williams descended to C2, while Taylor, Lhakpa Tendu and Pasang Nuri stayed at C4. They descended to C2 on 24/05. On 25/05, Taylor walked over a snow bridge, which collapsed. He fell in but fortunately he was on a rope, but fractured his ankle (his crampon got caught in the ice and then a piece of ice hit his ankle and twisted it). He continued to BC and was helicoptered on 26/05. He went to CIWEC where they strapped it up. Helko Weiner reached to below the Yellow Band (7550m). He had problems with his feet. They were numb due to wrong-sized boots and he turned back. The others continued. Taylor had problems with his regulators and only used one bottle to the summit. He thinks the reason he was so slow was that he was not getting enough oxygen. Kushwaha was intending to summit Lhotse as well, but abandoned the idea after his Everest climb. The several members were on the Lhotse permit for alpine-training purposes only and only intended to go to C3. Sherpas: Lhakpa Tendu (Lhakpa Kormu), Patle-4, Okhaldhunga, 28/03/1977 Pasang Nuri |
