Route Notes Three members summited independently on two different days. The first was Bolotov, who left C4 on the 18th at 10:00 pm and reached the summit at 9:00 am on 19 May. He climbed to the top with a French team led by Ludovic Challeat and returned to C4 sometime between 1:00 and 2:00 pm. Totmyanin followed Bolotov to the summit the same day. He left C4 alone at 4:00 am on 19 May and arrived at the top at 3:30 pm. He was back in C4 at 6:30 pm. Finally, Ashurly left C4 on the 19th at 6:00 pm with a big group of people from several expeditions. He summited at 9:00 am on the 20th and slept that night back in C4. The three summiters descended to BC quickly; the team left BC on the 22nd. Non-summiting members: Frolov went up to 6500m on 20 April, then left the expedition because of family problems at home. Lutokhin left C4 on 19 May to go for the summit, but was not in good condition and soon retreated to C4. Manuylov got to their high C4 at 7500m on the 19th, but was no longer well to continue and returned to C4. Sinev also got to 7500m on the 19th, then like Lutokhin and Manuylov was not well enough to continue and returned to C4. Sokolov began his summit bid from BC on 13 May. On the 19th he left their low C4 at 7300m, but managed to gain only 100-200 meters, then had to return to 7300m because of stomach trouble. The only member to use oxygen was Ashurly. He used it from C4 (7500m) to the summit but did not use it during his descent.
