Ghosh and Bir Kaji Tamang after having six hours rest, left 3 at 10:19 pm on 19 May and reached summit at 4:12 pm on 20 May. They spent 20 minutes on the summit, then started descending. When they reached at the bottom of main couloirs Ghosh heard that somebody is asking for water and a tent. That was one of the climbers of ITBP Biman Biswas. The weather was bad and getting late too. For a moment Ghosh could not decide what to do. His Sherpa was asking him to leave the person and to move down. But Ghosh decided to help Biswas and told him to move along with him, but he was very exhausted and completely disoriented. Somehow Ghosh managed to bring down Biswas to C3 and handed him over to the Sherpa inside the tent. It was 5 pm on 21 May. On the summit ahead of Ghosh there Migel, one Slovak, Pedro's team, Maria and Sherpa, Lakpa, Kazi and Ghosh was the last one. Fixed rope: Contributed 100m rope plus bonus amount. Oxygen: C3 to smt to C3; Sherpa from 7800m to smt to 7800m. Accidents: frostbite both hands and left toe while rescuing a climber from ITBP Biman Biswas who was stuck at 8000m starting point of couloir without oxygen and water.
