Team left C3 at 6 pm. The weather was good and the conditions on the moutain very dry, which made it difficult to climb. Wang took 18 hours to reach the summit. Liu Yong-Zhong 19 hours and Liang 20-1/2 hours. They spent about 10 minutes on the summit. They descended to C3, where Wang arrived at 1:35 pm (11 May), Yong-Zhong arrived at 10:30 pm (11 May) and Zhang Liang at 12:30 am on 12th May. The reason why Zhang Liang and Yong-Zhong arrived at C3 so late was that they were caught in a storm and had trouble finding the camp. Wang was about 2 hours ahead of them and the storm started about 15 minutes before she reached C3. They took almost 10 hours to get back. The following day everyone descended to BC on the 13 May they took a helicopter to Kathmandu. Oxygen: Taken and used C3 to summit to C3 by all members. C4 to summit to C4 by Sherpas. Sherpas: Tashi Tshering (Tashi Chhiring), Khumjung, Khumbu, 8/5/1990 Everest 21/5/2009 Everest 22/5/2010 Manaslu 1/10/2010 Lhakpa Dendi, Gudel-9, Solukhumbu, 22/11/1974 Makalu 18/5/2008 UK (David Tait) Angdu (Gaurishankar-3, Dolakha) 10/09/1979 Makalu 23/05/2010 France (Alexia Zuberer)
