Summit team: all 3 members and Serap left C3 for top but spread out. Lenzen turned back 50m above because not feeling strong. Successful pair on return from top found Broglie lying in snow, blind, gloves off asking about fishing at 8050m. With help of Sergio Martini, 2 summiters got him to C2 on 26th and ABC 27th (walking and seeing by time down to C1) but finger tips black from frostbite.
