Route Notes On 1 May all 4 members slept at C2 except Thomas who went back to the base camp. On 2 May first attempt by Christoph and Olaf, but not possible, as they lost time fixing rope on new points. Janina stayed with them again that night. On 3 May Christoph and Olaf started at 6:30 am, reached summit at 12 pm and were back at C2 at 3 pm. Meanwhile, Janina was back the same day at the base camp at 3 pm. Christoph and Olaf packed some of their gear at C2 and descended to C1 for sleeping (arrival at 4 pm). On 4 May from C1, Christoph and Olaf went back to C2 to pack all their equipment, then did the same at C1 and were back to the BC at 5 pm, quite tired.
