Tafforeau and Miss Bouillard both reached up to 6000m. Tafforeau said he needed more time for acclimatization and could not wait for long for ascent as weather became more cold and windy. Miss Bouillard joined the expedition basically to accompany her boy friend Lafontaine, and not for climbing. Both Lafontaine and Bouillard left BC on Nov 6 for Pokhara and due in Kathmandu on Nov 16. Rest of the expedition members returned to KTM on Nov 15 and to leave on Nov 21.
