Route Notes	Team started from C4 at 1 am on 28 Sep and summited at 5 am, and returned to C2 between 3 pm and 6 pm. Climb was a 6 to 10 hour round trip from C4. It was good condition and good weather in this season. But the biggest number summitted on 28th Sep. Maybe over hundred peaple. Yamamoto had to wait more than 2 hours becouse of the very heavy truffic jam at the summit ridge. Even thought he reached the col about 6:30 am, but later than 8:30 am at the summit. Oxygen: Yamamoto started using Oxygen from C1 Ms. Kiuchi and Hosaka started using Oxygen from C2 Ishizuka and Hiraoka started using Oxygen from C3 sleeping Everybody stopped using Oxygen to C2 Sherpa team used Oxygen from/to C4 on summit day.
