Summit team left C3 at 1 am. Good conditions. Not a lot of snow. At the traverse to the Second Step, it was very windy. Just below the summit, the fixed rope was underneath the hard snow cover, and it was impossible to get it out. However, Wolf and Watson found some old rope which they could use. When they reached the summit, they were only two people from the south side. It was very windy. They spent about 30 minutes on the summit and descended to ABC, where they arrived between 4 pm (Anton Wehlau) and 11 pm (Andreas Wehlau). Members who did not reach the summit: Safia Hosein reached ABC. He left the expedition on 13/05 as she was too slow. Donald Lashley reached ABC on 15/05 but did not stay the night.
