On summit day went from La over the "back" (east side) of summit ridge at about 7620m and to true summit on a ridge of "lots of ups and down" in strong wind. On 22 April Sevenier tried his own summit bid and got to 7550m on 22nd and wind on 23rd. Normal route except for deviation at couloir below Makalu La.

Not difficult. Good snow conditions. Altitude acclimatization only problems.
