All summit teams left C4 at 9 pm and descended to C2. Rescue of Toader: According to Morneva, Toader felt unwell on the summit and during his descent must have got lost. The team was out of touch with him for 24 hours, however, Toader sent an SOS (I guess with a tracker) to his girlfriend in Romania who then contacted Morneva via satellite phone. As Morneva’s Sherpas were all at BC they contacted SST, who still had people on the mountain. They found Toader at 7900m on 29/09, gave him oxygen and brought him all the way down to BC as the weather was too bad for a helicopter to land. He was flown out on 30/09 and will probably lose all his fingers. Morneva reached C3 on 25/09 but turned back due to the bad weather conditions. Team left BC on 30/09 and returned to Ktm on 01/10 by helicopter from Samagaon. Sherpas above BC: 4 Oxygen: Taken and used from C4 to top to C4 by all members and Sherpas, apart from Leonte and Toader (Leonte did not use any O2 at all, Toader was rescued from 7900m and put on oxygen).
