BC 28/10 4600m
C1 03/11 5700m
C2 04/11 6000m
Smt 05/11 by both members, both Sherpas.

Team climbed Cholatse before and was well acclimatized. They summitted between 11 and 12:30 pm. Started from C2 at 12:30 am. Stayed on top for maybe 45 minutes. It was very cold and windy. A lot of fresh snow (30-40cm). They were the only climbers to go for the summit that day. They walked down to C2 (arrival: 8:20 pm). It took a long time to descend, quite dangerous descent. Ropes above C3 were badly fixed. On 6 Nov down to BC, arriving at 2 pm.

Aerts saw Rozov [a few days] before he died in base jump. Aerts saw him jumping from little lower than Yellow Tower, just below C2 on 4 Nov.

Team left BC on 7 Nov.

Oxygen: Not taken, not used.
