Route Notes Jake Norton had not intended to go top. Both Hahn and Norton looked in yellow band area for Irvine's body and went as high as 8400m but no success on 7th May. Hahn, Danuru and Tashi Tshering left C2 at 19th midnight and on top 7:30 am NST of 20th. 10 or 11 people on top when Hahns and Sherpas arrived at top, all from North side. Slept in ABC, arrived there 7:15 pm. Team had large group of people with them who climbed to North Col, as planned, so Norton and Hahn acclimatized when they went higher. Oxygen: while searching for Irvine's body and camera, both members and Tashi used it from 7600m to 8400m on 6 and 7 May. Down and both Sherpa on 19/20th in summit bid from 7830m to top and back to C3 by Danuru back to C1 by Hahn and Tashi. Sherpas: Danuru, Phortse, Everest X4 Tashi Tshering, Pangboche, Everest X9
