BC at 5300m below SE Face on Lhotse Shar Glacier south of Island Peak
C1 at 5670m on a buttress
C2 at 6400m on SE Face in snow hole above rock barrier
High point at 7000m at SE Face.

First attempt on SE Face abandoned after Duff's injury.

Allan later joined by Alison Hargreaves for second attempt on SE Face. This attempt abandoned at 6500m due to slab avalanches.

Original plan was for new route on S Face (this route never attempted).

7th May went up from BC, slept at C2 on 8th left at midnight and got to 23,000 ft at 6:00 am 9th May and Duff hit by falling serac, so both descended immediately and were back in BC 4:00 pm to Pheriche 10th. Duff left expedition and Alison Hargreaves joined Allan 15th at Dingboche after he had packed up BC; they then went back to try for top while Duff came to Kathmandu.
