On the first rotation, the team touched C3 on 03/05 and spent the night at C2. On the summit rotation, they spent an extra night at C4 due to dehydration. The Lhotse Face was very hot during their ascent as there was no wind.

They left at 9:20 pm on 21/05. Straightforward climb. Balcony at 12:40 am. It was not too busy on the route. Weather was still and clear. They spent about 30 minutes on the summit and descended to C4 where they arrived at 11:.30 am and at 5 pm (Mills, Furinjee).

On 23/05 they slept at C2 and on 24/05. Left BC on by heli on 27/05.
