Thought to try for Manaslu, then Lhotse. Once at Everest BC thought he might be able to try for Everest, feeling fitter than many candidates. Had first a permit for Lhotse then switched to Everest a week before the summit push.

Summit day on 15th started at 9:30 pm (5 to 10 min maximum of waiting at various stops), summited at 7:30 am on the 16th, then back to C4 on that day; on 17th back to C2. On 18th got evacuated from C2 to KTM to CIWEC Hospital.

Minor frostbites contracted during summit night/push. Eventually has 1st degree for 3 toes, 2nd degree for 1 toe.

1st fully vegan summit. No down at all in the gloves, jacket, etc.

Found the camps relatively clean except C4.

Everest North next year or Manaslu without oxygen?
