Winds dropped and continued. Team spent about 15 minutes on the summit and descended to C4 where they arrived at 1 pm. Following day to C2 and on 15 May everyone down at BC. Mitchell reached 7000m on 4 May. He felt he was unable to continue and turned back. He descended to C2 the same day. Parks reached 6800m (Bergschrund on bottom of Lhotse Face) on 29 April. Before he had gone to C2 his medical researcher had taken a blood sample, which was abnormal and indicated danger of heart attack or stroke. Parks descended to BC on 1 May, had another blood test and as it was still abnormal he decided to abandon his attempt, which would have been without supplemental oxygen. He left the expedition on 4 May. Oxygen: Taken and used from C3 to top to C3 by members; from C4 to top to C4 by Sherpas.
