We flew to Lukla on Oct 30th, climbed Chugima Ri on Nov 9th, Pokalde on Nov 12th, then Lobuche East on Nov 15th. We both summited all of these.

We summited Ama Dablam at about 1:30 pm on Nov 22nd. It was very clear and sunny, very cold, but only a mild wind. We descended and slept in C3 that night, and it became much more windy again overnight.

We descended to C1 on Nov 23, then on the 24th continued down to BC and then Pangboche. We spent the night of Nov 24th in a lodge in Pangboche. Did not have any difficulty with the technical section of the climb. Neither of us had any health problems (apart from a little bit of on-going coughing), injuries or frostbite. We didn't use any supplemental oxygen. Did not use any Sherpa help for the climb, although we did use porters up to C1 and also used Henry Todd's tents.
