Route Notes 1 May Tsivelekas alone to 8000m and down to C1. Other 2 who also placed C2 also did not sleep there and all to ABC. 10 May Kanidis and Theoharopoulos to C1, 11 May Kanidis to C2 enroute to top but Sherpas didn't go to C2 to set up camp, no oxygen there, very cold and windy so down to ABC and climb finished because yaks called for 13th and had some health problems though others would have been in support of Kanidis if he had gone higher.
