The reason why the group reached the high point on different days was that they had split the groups due to the number of tents. This was their second acclimatization rotation and they were not intending to go higher. They went back to BC and started their summit push on 04/10. Michalski, Fronia, Kopec left BC on 04/10 to C1. It took them six hours to get there as there was fresh snow and it was hard going. On 05/10 Fronia, Kopec, Michalski descended to BC as they saw the huge amount of fresh snow on the mountain and were worried about the avalanche danger. On 05/10, the rest of the group left BC for C1, but only Bilecki, Lange and Bielejec continued to C2 on 06/10 as the others were also worried about the avalanche danger on the mountain. It took the group 9 hours to get to C2. When they reached it they could not find their tents as they were buried under the snow. The weather also deteriorated and they decided to return to C1 the same day, where they arrived at around 11:30 pm. On 07/10, everyone back to BC. Climb abandoned on 06/10 due to too much snow and high winds. Team left BC on 08/10 to Seti Khola. Oxygen: Not taken, not used (medical only)
