Han and Kim arrived at BC by helicopter on 02/05 as Han had been skiing to the North Pole and arrived late. They abandoned the summit push as Seven Summit Treks, who was in charge of fixing the rope, did not do it. Then they said they fixed to 7700m, but they had stopped to fix at 7500m. The team carried 500m up to fix the rest of the mountain, which they did together with their Sherpa. They left C4 at 11 pm. When they reached 7900-8000m it was already 2 pm, which they thought was too late. It was also windy and they did not feel comfortable about the two Spanish ladies climbing without oxygen as they were not doing very well and they thought that they would run into trouble. They turned back at 2 pm and descended to C3, where they arrived at 5 pm. On 22/05, they descended to BC. Yun reached C3, but did not join the summit push as he was not feeling well. He descended directly to BC. Team left BC on 22/05 by helicopter. Fixed rope: 500m from 7500m to 8000m Oxygen: Taken and used from C3 to high point to C3 by Han From 7500m to high point by Kim Lu did not use oxygen Yun did not use oxygen as he only reached C3 Sherpa: Tenzing Sherpa, Makalu (Spanish media gives name of Pasang Sherpa)
