After 27 Sept above falling in warm weather then strong wind. One day to 6500m too see route above and finally reached North Col on 15 Oct, but too strong wind and could not sleep there, so down to ABC. Spent 27 days in ABC. Snow became so deep yaks could not reach ABC for days and members and 1 cook had to make their way through it in waist-deep snow to BC. 25 Oct yaks able to go up to retrieve gear at ABC and trucks able to reach BC, but had to go to Lhasa, not Zangmu because of snow.
