Summit team left C3 at 2 am. Straightforward climb. They spent about half an hour on the summit and Mauro, Werner, Barber and all Sherpas descended to ABC, where they arrived at 6 pm. The rest of the summit team spent the night at C1, where they arrived at noon. Gottschalk reached C1 on 16 Sept; she did not like the downtime on the expedition and quit. Barnett, Peterka and Diani reached the top of the ice cliff at 6800m on 17 Sept. They turned out not to be strong enough to climb. Susainathan reached lake camp at 6000m. He was not prepared for a mountaineering expedition (he thought he was going to go trekking). Pennie and Guthrie reached C1 at 16 Sept. Both had problems with the altitude and quit. Shapiro reached lake camp at 6000m; he was too weak to carry on. Oxygen: Taken and used from C3 to top to C3 by members and Sherpas.
