Fax from Didier Fagart leader to Jeevan Shrestha on 11 Nov 2000:

Base Camp was settled on the 17th October at 4900m, C1 at 5300m, C2 at 5900m and C3 at 6400m (C2 was not used for last attack, this camp being too close to C3 and so not worth sleeping one more night in altitude). On October 29th, the whole team, 7 members and 3 Sherpas, left C3 between 4:30 and 5:30 am towards the summit: 8 of them (5 members and 3 Sherpas) reached the summit around 11 am; one [Didier Fagart] had to stop 200m before the summit because of a beginning of cerebral edema and went down accompanied by another member [Dennis Fagart] (a doctor).

The weather during the whole expedition was sunny, but the temperature got colder and colder.
