Route Notes BC near lake (100m from normal site) ABC C1 on SE Spur/Ridge High point at C2. James serious pulmonary edema in C2 and had to be taken to Pheriche so everyone down from C2 and C1. 24th "huge snowfall." Tried later to go up but not above C2 on 27th more to retrieve gear than to go for summit. Had been going well when James got sick; if had not had to take care of him, probably would have reached summit.
Accidents James pulmonary edema, recovered in Pheriche and did some trekking
