Route Notes Closely associated with this expedition was a five member, two-Sherpa team named Arabs with Altitude led by Michael Horst. Madison's expedition sent their members to the summit in one large group on 18 May, but eight days earlier they contributed two Sherpas to the rope fixing effort on the 10th. The rope fixers were Phurba Kancha and Kami Rita, who later (on 22 May) summited Everest with Horst's Arabs. The large summit party was made up of 12 members and an equal number of 12 Sherpas. The members were Edwin Bailey, Borchardt, Derue, Gonzalez, Grieder, Grigsby, Jones, Lowry, Madison, Moharrak, Sheedy and Wessels. They together with their Sherpas, set out for the top at 11:00 pm on the 17th, and all of them reached the summit almost together, at 7:45-7:55 am on 18 May. All descended to C4. Here, at midnight, five members and two Sherpas left C4 at the South Col, traversed over to the West Face of Lhotse and summited Lhotse at 7:00 am on the 19th. This party, Edwin Bailey, Grieder, Grigsby, Jones, Madison, Ang Pasang and Karma Sarke, then went down to C2 in the Western Cwm, where they joined the rest of the team's descending Everest summiters. Oxygen was used while climbing Everest by members from C3 to top to C3 and by Sherpas from C4 to top to C4. Those members and Sherpas who went over to Lhotse's summit, stayed on oxygen to Lhotse's top and down to C3. Those who did not summit Everest on the 18th were: Ashkar got to C1 on 4 May, but went no higher because of general weakness and a sinus infection. John Bailey went to C2 on 15 May, but pulmonary edema sent him home that day. McFeeney was another pulmonary edema case; she reached C3, where she became seriously ill. She left the expedition on 16 May. Saikaly, a photographer, attached himself to Horst's Arab party and summited with them on 22 May.
