There was not enough time for him to put up C3 and actually he wanted to try out how the oxygen work in high altitude. He turned back to C2, dismantled C2, then down to C1 where he reached at noon time and spent night at C1. Next day to ABC. He said he has to get back to America to join an expedition to Alaska.
