Non summiting Ama Dablam member:

Herbert did not get as far as C1. He climbed to 5500m on 19 November, when the others reached C1, with Siddhi Bahadur. The climb was technically too difficult for Herbert. He and Siddhi Bahadur descended to BC, where Herbert remained while Siddhi Bahadur went up and joined the others.
