He took 6hr 15min to reach the summit. He saw lights on Everest. He spent a few minutes on the summit as his feet were very cold and descended to ABC. He reached C3 at 4 am, dismantled it; reached C2 at 8 am and dismantled it and reached ABC at about noon. Hess reached C3 on 09/05 during the acclimatization rotation.
