On 22nd May, Dawa Tshering and Wiedlich ascended to C3 and to C4 of Lhotse on 23rd of May. They left C4 at 5:10 am on 24th May. It was snowing and very warm. The snow conditions were not good and the ropes had not been fixed. When they got to their high point at 8218m at 8:15 am, they decided to turn back due to lack of rope and bad snow conditions.
