| Route Notes | Rana, Banwala and Kasana only climbed to C3 (7200m). Since they were unable to move any higher, their Sherpas descended without them. Later after they returned to base camp, they claimed summit success, but without any proof of success. They said that four Sherpas guided them to the summit on 26 May at 10:30 am, but they could not remember the names of their Sherpas. The Ministry had issued summit certificates. Mohini Nehra was rescued from C2 according to Oxana Morneva. |
