C1 below normal site because of deep snow
High point on SW Ridge below proposed site for C2 at 6200m.

Arrived day big snowstorm began and stayed BC on 10th, on 11th all down to Pangboche. Returned to BC and on 13th liaison officer said could climb beyond 15th Nov, season's end because had lost time with storm. Route above C2 was deep snow and avalanches coming down onto ridge so dangerous and leader decided slow and stop climbing. Yaks were able to reach BC on 18th after trail was open.
