Route Notes	High point on 19 May 8250m by O’Dochartaigh at 1 pm. O'Dochartaigh left C3 on 19 May with Damian Benegas at 2 am. Good conditions. When he reached 8250m he felt that he was too tired and he had an inner feeling that the Czech team in front of him, who were also very slow, would get into trouble. He turned back at 1 pm and descended to C2, where he arrived at 5 pm. Benegas went on and reached the summit. On 23 May O'Dochartaigh started another summit attempt and ascended to C2, and on 24 May he went directly to C4. His second summit attempt was aborted as too many people were attempting to reach the summit that day and the rockfall was too dangerous for him. It took him eight hours from C2 to C4, but when he saw all the people there upon his arrival, he turned back to BC. The descent took four hours. He left BC 26 May. Oxygen: not taken, not used.
