BC at Lunag, below Kangchung
C1 just before Nangpa La
C2 "u" of Khumbu (west side of glacier)
C3 45 minutes below snow ridge
C4 just above the seracs
C5 on West Face (same other's last camp).

BC at Lunag very low because expected sites above and Lunag to be very windy. 7th May Gilbert tried for summit with Debrouwer and reached 7570m on rock barrier and returned because toes begining to freeze, stopping just in time to prevent serious frostbite.

On 8th Danu left Le Bon on top and he had rucksack with food and drink and she arrived at C5 at 19:00 hours on her knees very tired and in need of drink; Swedish summiter gave her oxygen from his supply (Belgium oxygen was in a lower camp) and she used it for 3 hours.

On summit on 8th May in this order:
2 Italians (Ongis and G. Viganco)
1 German (Lutterjohann)
Le Bon
Danu
3rd Italian
