Summit push (24/05 group): Summit team left between 1 am and 2 am. Weather was slightly windy and a bit of snow. The Chinese team was on the route and some of the team had to wait 2:45 hrs at the Second Step. The timing of the ascent was not well planned, according to the team. They stayed about 45 minutes on the summit and descended to North Col where they arrived at 9 pm, apart from Yosifova and Samolej who stayed at C3 with their Sherpas. On 25/05, Yosifova and Samolej descended to North Col. Samolej stayed the night and Yosifova continued to ABC the same day. Pranckevicius and Rita Geljen Sherpa stayed at C1 for another night, as they were snow or wind-blinded. Other members and Sherpa descended to ABC. On 26/05, Rita and Pranckevicius left C1 at 5.30 am and reached ABC at 8am. The same day everyone descended to CBC. Summit push (27/05 team): Jason was only supposed to climb with one Sherpa but when he delayed his summit push, Mingma chose to add Sherpas on summit day for safety reasons. Ngawang Rapke met Kami and Tshering and Weiss at C3 and then summited with them. Kami met Tshering and Weiss at C1 on May 24. On summit day, Weiss left C3 at about 1 am Chinese time. Great weather on summit day. Very calm wind. Some clouds. Windier conditions from C1 to C2 and C2 to C3 but he knew this would be the case with the forecast. They spent about 30 mins on the summit and descended to ABC where they arrived at 7:30 pm Chinese time. Entire team left ABC on 28/05 and left CBC on 29/05. Back in Kathmandu on 31/05.
