Report from Lukas Furtenbach:

After Everest Rebecca Long and Benjamin Lieber together with Sange, Tashi and Pasang went to Kangchenjunga:

May 23 Lukla to KBC by heli.
May 24 KBC to C2 direct
May 25 C2 to C3
May 26 C3 to C4
May 26 8 pm departure from C4 for summit
May 27 C4 to KBC

They turned around at 7800m due to dangerous wind loading at the entrance of the couloir. Waist deep with a wind slab on top. During the previous days it had snowed more than a foot and wind drifts were even deeper. They broke our own trail both up and down the mountain, digging up the ropes as we went.

7800m high point at 10:00 pm reached by:
Sange Sherpa
Tashi Sherpa
Pasang Sherpa
Rebecca Long
Benjamin Lieber

Departure from KBC to Kathmandu on morning of May 28.

Oxygen used from C2.
