| Route Notes | Summit team left C4 for the top at time am on 25 September. They were seven members and seven Sherpas: Brands, Crampton, Poldersaart, Seagram, Seidensticker, Sindbaek and Wild, with Sherpas Sange, Kami Nuru, Karma Gelgen, Pasang Gombu, Pasang Wangchu, Pemba Chhiri and Tarke. At 7800m, Poldersaart decided to turn back. He said he was not feeling well, Crampton thought his problem was probably more psychological than physical. Karma Gelgen retreated with him down to BC that day. The others continued on to the top, where they arrived between 8:30 and 9:00 am. Brands, Seagram, Sindbaek and Wild stopped in C2 for the night, while all the others descended all the way to BC and got there at 5:00 pm. Wright was not in the summit party: he had reached C3 on the 23rd, but went no higher because of an extremely bad cough that prevented him from getting any sleep. On the 24th he returned to BC [with Dorje]. Oxygen was by all members and Sherpas in the summit party in and from C4 to their high points and back to C3. Sherpas: Dorje Sherpa, May/June 1965 (2022), Phakding, Chaunrikharka-5 Kami Nuru Sherpa, 25/8/85 (10/5/2042), Chaurikharka village Pasang Ongchu Sherpa, 25/4/87 (12/1/2044), Bung-9 Pasang Gombu Sherpa, 25/11/69 (8/10/2026), Kurima, Lokhim-9 Pemba Chhiri Sherpa, 31/1/72 (17/10/2028), Pawai-2 Tarke Sherpa, 1967 (2024), Kurima, Lokhim-9 Karma Gelgen Sherpa, 21/1/78 (8/10/2034), Taksindu-7 |
