Route Notes Team left C4 at 2:10 am on 17 May. Windy at col, but no wind during climb. Climb was straightforward. Spent 10 minutes on summit. Descended to C4 at 9:55 am. Carried on at noon down to C2, arrived at 3 pm. On 19 May packed up C2 and skied down to C1 in 20 minutes. Team had planned to climb Lhotse after Everest. However, as they wanted to ski and there was not enough snow in the couloirs, so they abandoned the climb.
