Route Notes Summit team left C4 at 10:30 pm on 15 May. It was windy. The Jagged Globe team was climbing in front of them. Burr and Lhakpa Wangchu were the first to reach the summit, but only stayed for about five minutes as it was too cold and windy. Ketchell, Dorje Gyalgen and Topchen stayed about 10 minutes when they arrived. Everyone descended to C4, where they arrived between noon and 2 pm. The following day they descended to C2 and on 18 May to BC. Bellworthy and Todd reached C2 on 24 April. Bellworthy was not feeling well during her night at C2 and complained of a tingling on her left side and numb face. She was put on oxygen and descended with Todd on 25 April. They immediately went to see the doctors at the Himalayan Rescue Association, who advised her to leave. She flew out by helicopter on 27 April. Todd remained at BC for the rest of the expedition. Oxygen: Taken and used from C3 to top to C3 by members. Taken and used from C4 to top to C4 by Sherpas.
