BC at usual camp site.

Guggemos and Gelu left C3 on April 29 at 21:30 hours, reached 7500m at about 02:30 hours of April 30. It was too cold; started coughing; symptoms of frostbite, so then turned around to BC where they reached around 14:00 hours. Guggemos said that when he reaches above 7000m, cough starts due to thin air.

Guggemos will not be climbing any more. Guggemos returned to Kathmandu by helicopter on May 3 and leaves Kathmandu on May 4 in the morning.
