C1 at NE Col.

Took one week to get all loads to BC from glacier, where most porters dumped loads. Slept only once or twice at deposit tent in beginning. 10th Oct 3 left C4 at 7 am and reached summit 13:15 by 2 members and 14:30 by Kirsis in good weather except wind.

Bernans, Busenbergs and Lapselis a few days later started moving up for summit bid but did not reach C3 because 3 not in strong enough condition, so returned to C2.

One member (Kulis) stayed a day in C2 waiting to go up to bring down C3's tent but weaker and in descent slipped, hit his shoulder and broke a couple of ribs but was able to trek out; fell from about 6400m.
