Route Notes	Roeske and Lakpa Gelu left C2 at 1 am on 9 May. Very good conditions, straightforward climb. They spent about 15 minutes and descended to C2. 15 May summit team left C2 at about 1 am. Straightforward climb. Spent 15 minutes on the summit and descended to C2. Fuller reached C2 on 7 May. He is allergic to mushrooms and had eaten mushrooms at ABC. He felt very ill and injected himself with adrenaline. He felt better the following day and accompanied Roeske on his summit push. When he was way up to C2 he started getting a tingling in his face again. He collapsed. He injected himself with Dex again and descended to C1, where he forced himself to stay awake. On the next day he descended to ABC and a Sherpa came up to bring him oxygen. Apparently it was a toxic shock from the mushrooms. Mildenberger, Merritt, Wilcox, Quillen, reached C2 on 15 May. They waited for another summit window, but it was too windy and they gave up. Nigh reached reached just above C1 on 16 May. He got frostbite on his fingertips as he had lost his glove and would not turn around. Nguyen also reached just above C1 on 16 May. He had to turn around as he was not strong enough. Oxygen: From C2 to summit to C2 by Czymochy, Davis, Johansson, Rigotti. Westreicher and Roeske did not use oxygen. From C1 to C2 by Merritt. Sherpas from C2 to summit to C2.
