This is the approximate schedule that we will use to plan the expedition around. Expedition members will be arriving at different times, however we should all plan to leave Kathmandu by the 15^th of October. There are 10 days allowed for unforseen problems, of which there will be some.

This is the minimum schedule to allow a good chance of completing the climb. If anyone wishes to cut the trip shorter it is possible to shave up to 2 weeks off the trip, however this would reduce your chances of reaching the summit.

Several members may be staying after the expedition, or may be traveling elsewhere. The flights are open tickets, but be aware that Christmas is a busy time for airlines and seats are not always available at this time of year.
