Route Notes	C4 last tent on West Face just below yellow band. Never occupied South Col because too much wind at Col so lot was on West Face of Lhotse. Tried to make the 4th camp but winds above them back from there also on 12th May. Finally on 16th possible to establish 4th camp and stayed there for 4 nights and during this. After all testing finished then allowed to go to top, which 5 did without accident. 1 Sherpa fell 30m in crevasse in Icefall. 27 May - Blanc to summit at 1:30 pm 28 May - Panzeri brothers and Lafaille went to summit together - reached top at 9:14 am and returned to BC at 6:30 pm same day.
