A short update !! The team left at 1.30 am tonight for the rotation to C1 hoping to touch C3. But mid in the Icefall, Chandra started to feel SOB(shortness of breath) and found difficulty climbing and couldn’t recover. He recently had to go down lower altitude due to the notorious Khumbu cough he caught. Unfortunately it seems he hadn’t recovered well enough. Ang had to assist him down to the base camp from the icefall just below C1. Chandra is well rested now, plans to send him further down to recover, come up for another attempt. Rest of the boys and Nishan reached C1 and resting there tonight. It’s snowing up there right now.
