Khan was already acclimatised from his previous expeditions to Kangchenjunga. He started his summit push from ABC on 23/05 and ascended to C2 on that day. But later that night it was clear that the weather was not favourable for his envisaged summit on 26/05. On 24/05 he descended to ABC and rested till 26/05.

On 26/05 he reached C2 and on 27/05 C3. Khan and Mingma G left C3 at 9 pm. Weather and conditions good. They reached the summit at 8 am and spent one hour at the summit. They descended to ABC where they arrived at 7 pm. They left BC by heli on 29/05.

Rzucidlo reached C2, but had problems with her eyes and abandoned the expedition. She returned to BC where she stayed for 2 nights. On 26/05 she took a helicopter back to Kathmandu.
