Report from Gerhard Osterbauer:

Approach: Jeep to Koto, 4-day trek to BC via Meta and Phu

BC 19/10 4850m
C1 23/10 5450m
C2 24/10 6100m
Smt 30/10 by Osterbauer, Pemba Tenjin Sherpa, Ngawang Rakpe at 7:38 am.

Team left C2 at 1 am. Weather was clear, but very windy. There was a fixed rope from C2 to the top which was put in by SST. Straightforward climb. They spent about 15 min on the summit and descended to BC where they arrived at 4 pm.

Kunes reached 5300m on 21/10 on an acclimatization tour. He abandoned his climb as he had been feeling sick for most of the expedition and decided that he would be too tired to continue.

Team left BC on 02/11 via Phu to Koto and from there by jeep.

Sherpas above BC: 2

Oxygen: Not taken not used

Osterbauer and Kunes were Climbalaya clients on the SST permit.
