| Route Notes | On 28 Oct Acke, Meremans, Vander Elst (Eddy) and Mingma climbed up to about 6000m planning to set up C2. The team met French expedition members descending and they told the Belgium team that it is not possible to go beyond C2 due to deep snow condition and risk of avalanche. Then the expedition team decided to descend to BC. Gielens and Vander Elst (Daniel) climbed up to 5500m on 26 Oct. The team returned to Kathmandu on 5 Nov and will leave on 8 Nov.
