Summit team started from C4 on 28 Sept at 1:30 am, summited at 9:15 am, stayed 3-5 minutes on true summit (but 2:45 in line at below summit), then descended to C3 around 4-5 pm (with a break to refuel at C4). Conditions were perfect, negligible winds, but a long line did exist between fore-summit and true summit. McGill arrived at fore-summit around 06:30 am.
