Route Notes The expedition sent five members and five Sherpas to the summit on 5 October, as follows: Cartwright, Masek and Horrell with Kami Nuru, Chhedar and Chhongba, left C4 for the top at 7:00 am on the 7th and got to the summit at 11:30 am. Hyrylanien and Pasang Wangchu left C4 at the same time, but summited at 12:30 pm. Finally, Kay and Pasang Gomba left C4 at 8:00 am also on the 7th and arrived at the summit at 2:00 pm. The summiters returned to C2 between 3:00 and 6:00 pm. Oxygen was used on their summit day by Cartwright, Masek, Horrell and Kay from C4 to the top to C2. Hyrylainen and all Sherpas used none at all; non-summiter Ms. Mikhanovskaia also used none as noted below, but non-summiter Owens was on it from C4 to his high point of 7800m and down to C2. Non-summiting members: Crampton went to 7300m on 4 October with Dickson, who got cold hands and they went down to BC the same day together. Ferro got to C2 on 2 October, but did not feel capable of going higher. He turned around; his friend Falutico turned around with him. Both descended to BC that day. Ms. Mikhanovskaia reached C4 with the summit group, but instead of going for the top with them on the 5th, she went down to BC because of cold feet: she had not been using oxygen. Tarke Sherpa descended with her. Owens climbed up to 7800m with the summiters, then decided this was good enough for him and went back to C2 and down to BC on the 6th. Sange Sherpa went down all the way with him. Sherpas: Chhedar Sherpa, 19/12/63 (4/9/2020),Sisuwa Khola, Makalu-9, Everest X6 Chhongba Sherpa, 3/7/60 (20/3/2017), Tate, Chaurikharka-7, Solu Kami Nuru Sherpa, 26/8/85 (10/5/2042), Chaurikharka, Solu, Everest 23/5/09 Pasang Gomba Sherpa, 25/11/69 (10/8/2026), Kurima, Lokhim-9, Solu Pasang Wangchu Sherpa, 25/4/87 (12/1/2044), Cheremy, Bung-9, Solu, Everest X2 Tarke Sherpa, 1967, Lokhim-4 Sange Sherpa, 20/9/73 Members of this expedition assisted Juan Oiarzabal in his descent from the summit (see web site link).
