Route Notes	BC at Nuptse Glacier below and south of ridge C1 at small plateau north of this W-E ridge High point at C1. BC was below and south of Ridge that starts between points 6543m and 6823m. Climbed up this ridge to small plateau north of this ridge where C1 pitched. Went no further because agency had not provided enough equipment for more camps, Sherpa sick and Lekman slightly so. Sherpas said 2 months needed to climb such difficult route which descends and again ascends. Lekman reached C1 on 21st and went to BC same day. Again to C1 on 24th and found tent and its contents had been blown away and retreated to BC (Sherpas had made C1 3 days before Lekman 1st reached it).
