Summit team left C4 at 8 pm. There were around 40 people on the route. The weather was good until they reached the summit at 9 am. Then the wind started. They stayed about half an hour on the summit. On their descent, the wind picked up significantly. At about 8800m Pozdnii lost his snow goggles, they were blown away by the wind. He continued without goggles and descended with Horodechnyy, Nima Sherpa and Nga Tashi to C4, where they arrived at 3 pm. Semerenko descended to C2 and arrived at 10 pm. Lama Babu descended on his own and it is believed that the wind took him and he fell off the South Summit. His rucksack was found at the South Summit. On 15/05, Pozdnii woke up at C4 and he had a lot of pain in his eyes. He had trouble coming down, but was able to walk down on his own. Horodechnyy was with him. They descended to C2, where they arrived at 3 pm. On 16/05, they were evacuated by helicopter due to Pozdnii's snowblindness and frostbite on all five fingers on his right hand. Horodechnyy was suffering from slight AMS. Halay is climbing Lhotse and Semerenko is also staying to attempt Lhotse. Pozdii and Horodechnyy heli-vaced from C2 on 16/05.
