Route Notes On 9 Feb climbing towards C2, Argenson, Augier, Mrs Augier, Ngima Geljen (guide), Ngima Nuru and Jangbu Sherpa reached to 6400m. Ngima Geljen (guide), who was in the lead, told the members that it will be very risky to go beyond 6400m as there is a big risk of avalanche. Sherpa guide Ngima Geljen took the decision to stop climbing and all descended to BC. The expedition members are very sad and angry, especially Argenson, about the decision of Sherpa guide. The team returned Kathmandu on 13 Feb and will leave on 22 Feb from Kathmandu.
