Route Notes	Due to bad weather the team could not make its summit attempt. Members said that since their arrival to BC there was snow fall everyday 3-4 meters. Some days snowfell for 36 hours non-stop. Being a small team it was not possible to work hard in the bad snow conditions. Ms Colewa's high point was 5700 C1 (IC). Sherpa: Lhakpa Chhiri Sherpa (Sonam), Pangboche, 17/11/74, Everest X6, Cho Oyu X1
