Route Notes All the members of this team summited except Ms. Gillian Potter. She reached BC on 20 October, and with them, she put on her crampons on the 23rd to start the climb. But she did not move above camp; doing so was beyond her capability. The rest of the team left BC at 3:00 am for the top and, in very cold and windy weather, reached the summit at 9:35 am. They were back in BC at 12:30 pm. They started their trek the next day, but five members began vomiting. A helicopter was summoned and it took them from Mu La to Jomsom. They trekked to Pokhara and flew from there to Kathmandu.
