BC at normal site
C1 just above icefall
C2 at Col
High point at snow slope below steep ridge.

Late Sept a lot of snow: 27 Sept more than 1 meter snow at BC, so stayed in BC for 7 days while snow kept falling. 2 Oct started up from BC and on 3rd reached C2 but camp in bad condition and avalanching going on. Stayed 4 days at C2 with one day 40 cm snowfall. 4 Oct tried to reach C3 site at 6300m but could not go above 6100m because very dangerous snow ("we swam in snow"), so down to BC 6th Oct and called off climb because no chance to reach summit. 1st Oct was big avalanche from top of Dhaulagiri and its blasts of air hit BC. Left BC 8 or 9 Oct.
