A small avalanche occurred near the Bottleneck that will delay progress a day or so. The major downside is that it might bunch too many teams together on their oust after working so hard to spread everyone out.

We all summited between 9.30am and 12noon. Kobler & Partner team had 100% success with this. The weather was perfect. There was hardly any wind and the route was pretty busy that night – not sure how many people summited that day but there was a long line of head torches. Our team headed out from C3 (6,950m) at 7pm on 13 July and most of us took 24 hours to return back to C3.<\/p>\n Matthew Randall & Matt Gorbett<\/a>\u00a0are on their summit push hoping to ski down – No updates, meanwhile other have sumitted during this time I believe..\u00a0Denis Urubko<\/a>\u00a0and Pipi Cardell<\/a>\u00a0are on a new route on GII.
