Acclimatized climbing to 7000m 16 May then down to rest and met his trekking wife below Thyangboche and returned BC 10 May. Then bad weather mostly windy. Left 25 May from BC in summit push with Lhakpa Nuru to C2 and established C3 on 28th, C4 on 29th. At 22:40 hours both left C4 for top and on top at 9:40 am of 30th. Waited during ascent below balcony, below South Summit and below Hillary Step (nearly 1 hour below balcony and half hour other place). On top clouds were moving in and wind starting up.
