Route Notes	The team stayed at base camp night of avalanche. Both used oxygen because they did a relatively quick ascent and did not want to become exhausted (also Sherpas encouraged and wanted to use it for this reason). They went quickly because weather was poor. All climbers left C4 at 3:30 am and arrived at summit at 10:00 am, stayed on summit for 45 minutes and left summit at 10:45 am. They stopped and rested at C4 at 1:30 pm and at 2:45 left C4 for C2. Arrived at C2 at 7:00 pm and slept there. They left C2 at 10:00 and arrived at BC at 4:30 pm. O'Connell fell into crevasse, but was on the fixed rope and was pulled out by the Sherpas. Sherpas: Mingma Tsering Sherpa, 1/8/70 (17/4/2027), Beding Nima Gyalzen Sherpa, 18/5/76, Beding
