Inaki Ochoa went to C4 with Ratcliffe of Todd expedition but wind drove Inaki down to BC, where he arrived 2 May. Coughed so hard pulled muscle in stomach and had to rest a week so missed good weather of 5th. Left S Col on 11th at 10:00 pm for top - at midnight violent wind and very cold local storm and without oxygen by 3:00 am 12th he was freezing and stopped at 4:30 am at 8650m realizing would have serious frostbite. S Col at 5:30 am; 6:00 am storm stopped but he started down 8:00 am and to C2 at noon and BC on 13th. Todd had invited Inaki to use his tents and food to help Graham Ratcliffe, Todd's client. Later Ratcliffe went off without Inaki when Inaki had strained stomach muscle.
