| Route Notes | On 3 Oct the Schobesberger couple left C3 at 7 am. They were together with Swiss left C3 at 7 am. They were together with Swiss Brunschweiler and Kaila Tamang. Kaila was carrying tent and was behind. According to clients he turned back below 7000m as he could feel oncoming frostbite on hands and feet. Andrea and Franz Schobesberger arrived at C4 at 3 pm. They were waiting for Kaila to arrive with tent. They asked a Sherpa from other group to have a look for Kaila (at 6 pm). But he could no find him as they could not find any other tent to stay in. They decided to descend to C3 at 8 pm; arrived at midnight. They found Kaila in his tent in tears as he was in pain. On 4 Oct the three descended to BC. They left at 8 am and arrived at 9 pm. Kaila left BC on 5 Oct by foot. He went to clinic and doctors said he would keep his fingers.
