Route Notes	High point near to the C3. Perez tried to go to C3 and reached 7200m on 2 Oct. Snowfall started and the route was not open. It was not possible to continue climbing. Then Perez descended to BC. The team lost C1 tent and one in C2 with supplies, gas, gears - tents were buried under snow in an avalanche. Kwok climbed up to about 5800m on 7 Sept with Mingma, then he gave up climbing due to bad weather condition. Kwok returned to Kathmandu on 6 Oct and will leave on 9 Oct.
