BC at 5200m at left side of Kangshung Glacier
ABC at 5400m at 2-1/2 hours from BC
Depot at 5450m bottom of East Face
C1 at 5550m at big crevasse on face
Biv at 6100m on face
Biv at 6300m on face
High point at 6350m at East Face.

No fixed camps above ABC but had use of a depot camp, which did sleep in and bivouacs except a crevasse camp at 5550m. Had many days of snowfall and avalanching, so would retreat when snow came and wait 2 days for avalanches to stop, go up and same pattern repeated. Crevasse camp at 5500m buried when Ferenci and Varkonyi were in it but not hurt. Later Ferenci taken down by avalanche going down to depot camp (taken 250m down slope but not hurt). Both depot and crevasse camps flattened by avalanches other times. Would like to go back again to route in spring time. Goes in spring 2001 to Everest South to become first Hungarian atop Everest.
