Split into 2 summit teams for simplicity of logistics (put only 3 tents at C3).

1st summit team started at 4:00 am having waited an hour for winds to drop but didn't drop on 28th and took 4-1/2 hours to top (8:30 to 9:00 am on top).

2nd summit team moving up to C3 on 28th (1st team down to C2 for night) for summit bid on 29th but night of 28th very strong winds collapsed tents and on 24th went down, abandoning summit bid and climb finished.

Summiters saw Everest and Lhotse from top.
