Route Notes	Summit team left C3 at 4:30 am on 15 May. Weather was calm and clear. Good views of Everest from top at 10:30 am (CST). Stayed on top for 30 minutes, descended all way to ABC. Arrived at 8 pm (Chinese time). On way down they took down all the camps. Kozlowski and Rexroad reached C1 on 3 May, but did not stay night. Rexroad left ABC as he did not get on with Gallant and missed his family. Kozlowski left ABC on 6 May due to bad cough. Gallant and Lawang Dhondup got to 6900m (just above icefall) and turned back as it was only acclimatization trip. Gallant left on 10 May together with Dhondup. She could not handle expedition psychologically and had falling out with Justman.
