Route Notes BC above Gorak Shep C2 at South Ridge col C4 in snow hole. After made C4, removed C3. Made C3 because was long route which was very steep mixed rock, snow and ice. Fixed 3000m rope from 5500m almost entire route to top (from snow hole to top put in rope so able to find route on descent in clouds). From C2 to C3 avalanche caused Nima Rita to fall and broke arm on 4th October.
Accidents 1 Sherpa broken arm, 1 Sherpa stomach problem, so both left expedition early
