Clear weather-no wind. Took off oxygen, hand gloves. "It was wonderful." After a while there were one Sherpa and one Greek came over. The pictures on laptop shown to me were beautiful. Then came two Sherpas and a British or American. Both descended to C2 at 16:30 hours. Next day to BC. Both members met their Sherpa Lila at South Summit while descending, Lila stayed in C4. He was very exhausted. First Swiss team to summit of the season.
