Team of Gilbert, Ulyett, Hernando Blazquez, Phurba, Norbu, Norbu, Biri, Lakpa stopped at 7300m after 10 hours push in breakable crust in very cold temperatures (the true summit was at least another 4 hours away which would have caused problems).

Very little information was available to team. More technical and longer than envisioned. Team used 30 rolls of polypropylene to fix for example. Perhaps too ambitious for one commercial expedition.

Sherpas:
Phurba Ongel Sherpa (think he was on Cho Oyu recently)
Phursemeba Sherpa (last year Everest with AP's)
Norbu Sherpa (Everest summiter both sides)
Bire Tamang (Everest summiter)
Lakpa Sherpa (Everest, Cho Oyu summiter)
