Kuriki left C4 at 10 pm on 11 Oct. He reached summit at 9:45 am on 12 Oct, stayed on summit about 20 minutes, made ski descent to C3, slept there. Next day to BC on skis. Weather was very good, clear sky no wind but very cold. Kiriki said he used fixed rope at one point between C3 and C4, difficult place. While skiing down, he had to walk some places where crevasses were dangerous.

Fujikawa is BC manager and remained in BC all time.

Kadotani climbed up to C3 on 11 Oct.

The team returned to Kathmandu on 21 Oct and leave on 25 Oct.
