Lutzenberger wrote in her email that Fleming was completely exhausted and not acclimatized at all, but, she [Lutzenberger] was perfectly fine for climbing. At the end Ang Kami decided to abort the expedition. Lutzenberger returned to Kathmandu on 2 May. Fleming returned to Kathmandu on 4 May and left Nepal on 11 May.
