Albert Hanna "psyched out" and Matous had had his climb and he had to tend to expedition matters in KTM. These 4 to KTM by helicopter on 6th Nov. Other 4 had also had their climb, went trekking in Khumbu and came to Kathmandu on 12th Nov with last 6 members except Athans, who stayed in Khumbu few days (probably next trip to trekking peaks in later part of Nov) and flew to Kathmandu 15th Nov.

Unsuccessful summit bid on 31st by Schneider with Matous guiding him; turned back at 6600m when Schneider became too tired to go on.

This rock hit Andrew Carsons in right leg above the knee. His femur was broken and severe cuts sustained to the leg. Carson has been rescued by helicopter to Kathmandu.
