22 Sept - Ludo Challeat and Thomas Grenier went from base camp to C3 and slept
there that night.

22 Sept - Arnauld De Fauchier left C3 for base camp as he didn't feel well.
(that left the 6 who climbed slowly to C3: Belmas, Bos, Manel, Ouimet, Priez, Ricard and Grenier). Grenier and Challeat slept at C3 the night of the avalanche.
There was not enough room for everyone to sleep at C3. Sherpas resumed back down to base camp, all Sherpas survived.

At 4:30 a massive avalanche swept down from 7500m killing 11 climbers at C3 and injuring several others (from several expeditions).

Injured members: Thomas Grenier, Claude Belmas, Arnaud Manel were rescued from C2. Ambigues, De Fouchier, Logean, Massonnet and Poncin were rescued from BC.

Ambigues and Logean stayed in base camp because of altitude sickness.
