They wanted to reach C3 during this rotation, but they were too tired to go any further. They had no Sherpa support and were carrying heavy bags (up to 25kg). They joined the summit push of all the other expeditions on Dhaulagiri leaving BC on 06/05 to reach C1 and on 07/05 to reach C1. Nave turned back at about 6700m as the climb was too exhausting. He descended to C2 where he stayed the night. Margalit carried on towards C2, but decided to turn back at about 7050m. He thought he had taken too long towards C3, and when he met the Norwegian climber Kristin Harila and her Sherpa team who told him that it was another 2 hours to C3 he decided to turn back at around 4 pm. He descended to C2 where he arrived at 6 pm. Both Nave and Margalit descended to C2 on 09/05 and left BC by heli to Kathmandu.
