Summit team left at 19:30 on 21/05; weather was calm to light breeze until just below the South Smmmit when winds got up to 20 knots max. Route was fine, but there was a lot of people on the move. Passed 30-40 people before the route got narrow (halfway between the Balcony and the South Summit). Overall, on the way up to the South Summit not much waiting. Main waiting was on the Hillary Step up and then the descent. Waited 45 mins going up to Hillary Step. On the way down spent 2 hrs below the Hillary Step waiting.
