We have more summits! A bit of a mixed day:

Andy Brown (Team 6), Dave Macintyre (Team 6), Pemba and Paul summited
mid-morning.

Lakpa and John turned around from just above the Dablam.

Chris Bradley (Team 6) had to abort near C3 on account of a broken crampon. I wouldn’t mind but it was the plastic toe cup that shattered, possibly on account of the cold which didn’t bode well for a crampon which is supposed to be used in, well, cold conditions.

He was able to fabricate a temporary fix but we discussed this over the radio at 03:47 and he realised it was right to fix and descend. Fixing to continue on up could be fraught with havoc (and indeed I saw someone mend a crampon on Everest summit day on the N side in 2005 and they were never seen again).

Ross and Pyla descended yesterday after getting 3/4 of the way along to C2.

Meanwhile Antonella had a second night at C1 last night and made it to C2 today. However, her Khumbu cough and persistent sore throat have meant that she has drawn a line there.

Bradley, Brown, Macintyre and Yu climbed with Tim Mosedale's group and are listed for Team 6.
