Report from Naoko Watanabe:

Arrive at BC on 22 Sept.

Watanabe and Tenjin started a first summit push on 28 Sept, but when they reached C4 it was too windy and they returned to C3 where they stayed another night before they started their second summit attempt.

Summit push from C3 (6700m) 29 Sept at 3:30 pm. Deep snow, high winds and Tenjin opened the route again after the avalanche. Hence the long summit push!

Main Summit 30 Sep 7:10 am with Tenjin Sherpa, then descended to C3. Reached BC on 1 Oct. Left BC on 2 Oct by helicopter.

Oxygen: From C3 to top to C3 by Tenjin and Watanabe.

Sherpa:
Tenjin Sherpa (Montere Lama), climbed Lhotse with Watanabe in 2022.
