Route Notes	This expedition was abandoned due to Cyclone Hudhud and the team never reached base camp. However, Lizzy Hawker, who is a well-known ultra-runner, decided on 21 Oct in the afternoon to go for a run. She reached the base camp site and returned to Yak Kharka immediately. The highest point for the rest of the group was Yak Kharka. 5 Sherpas were hired to go above BC.
