Route Notes Heymes, Bigard, Cantanese, Labatut, Lemordant, Pasquer and Fortier started from C4 at 2:30 am on 25 May. Portier was the first one to reach to the top at 10:30 am and last one was Bigard who reached to the top at 12 noon. The members spent between 15 to 20 minutes on the summit, due to narrow summit, members had to wait for summit members to come down. The team descended to C4 between 2-3 pm. They spent the night at C4. Next day to BC. The summit day weather was Ok with 45 km/ph wind speed, some clouds and it was cold -25 degrees. This team was the last one on the mountain. There was snowfall almost every day after 10 am. The team saw a Korean body near C4 around 7500m and Japanese body below C4 along the climbing route. The team used a 6m long ladder between C1-C2 at 6200m. There was a red rope fixed on the final leg of the summit. The frostbitten Albert was evacuated from BC by helicopter on 15 May. He probably left Kathmandu on 18 May. The team returned to Kathmandu on 2 June and will leave on 6 June.
Accidents Frostbite, second degree fingers of Albert (his crampons were not fixed properly and he had to take off his gloves to fix crampons between C2 & C3 on 11 May)
