Route Notes Kvithyll along with her two climbing Sherpas left C3 at 9:30 pm on 20 May. They reached First Step (8500m) at midnight. They waited for 40 minutes at the First Step. It was getting very cold and wind started picking up. Kvithyll's fingers started getting cold. Then she decided to turn around. They arrived C3 at 1:30 am of 21 May. They stayed there until 7 am then went down to C1. Next day, 22 May, they descended to ABC. Ang Tashi got sick on 26 May. Kvithyll said that perhaps Ang Tashi's intestine was damaged due to carrying heavy loads on the mountain as Ngata had not cooperated to carry loads. She was disappointed by the behaviour of Ngada. Sherpa: Ang Tashi, 18/08/81, Makalu Ngata (Nada, Ngada), 2/2/76, Ghunsa Billi Bierling - 11 June 2017 Shieh Winston and Nima Gombu climbed with Anny Kvithyll. Winston stopped at C3. Nima Gombu then joined with Chhirring Dorje and Annelie Pompe to summit with a Swedish team.
