Gorska and Grieve reached C4 on 14 May. They intended to take one rest day and then summit on 16 May; however, the weather was bad and did not improve for 3 days, so they ended up staying there for four nights. Fairman and Leonard arrived at C4 on 16 May. Summit team set out at 7:30 pm on 18 May. Straightforward climb. Average of 15 minutes on the summit and all descended to C4, where they arrived at 6 pm. On 20 May they descended to C2 and 21 May at BC. Binns reached 8400m on 22 May. He helped some Indians who were in distress and assisted them back to C4. For this reason he abandoned his summit attempt. Ervin and Kashouh reached the South Summit (8690m) on 22 May. The weather was too bad and they descended to C4, where they stayed the night. Krajc reached C2 on 26 April. He abandoned the expedition on 3 May as he was not prepared to climb the mountain. Mazur reached C4 on 20 May. Due to the fact that they had used a lot of oxygen for the members who stayed at C4 for four nights, there was not enough left for Mazur to go to the summit. Oxygen: From C2 to top to C2 by Leonard From C3 to top to C3 by other members and Sherpas Sherpas: Jangbu, Patle, Okhaldhunga, 24/05/1967 Lhakpa Nuru, Phakding, Khumbu, 21/08/1981 Sange, Dinding, Makalu-Barun, 21/05/1971
