Ca 03/10 6313m
Smt 04/10 by Stitzinger, Keene, Kunga Sherpa, Thirendra Yakha at 1:30 pm.

Summit team left C3 at 12:30 am. Weather was clear with a few gusts of wind. There was a lot of snow. The Sherpas were breaking trail and the snow was sometimes thigh deep. The steps did not stay firm. It was tough going. Minimal avalanche danger. Not a technical climb and it is certainly a skiable mountain.

They spent about half an hour on the summit and descended to C3 where they arrived at about 5 pm. On 05/10 they descended to BC and left BC the next day.

Between C1 and C2 100m
From shoulder to col (about 40 degrees) 50m
