Stayed on the top for 30 minutes, beautiful weather, mild wind, just very cold before sunrise. Descended to C2, arriving at approx 4 pm. On 21 Oct everyone was back at BC (3 pm). Damaulevicius was on Makalu in spring 2017 (MAKA-171-03) and it is important for him to share that Gregory Attard as well as members of MAKA-171-02 only reached foresummit and not main summit.
