Haid and Krismer started from C3 at 7:30 am 21 April and reached summit at 19:30 hrs as sun was going down. Bivouacked on summit for 12 hrs because too dangerous to go down in dark - very cold (-25 to -30 degrees). Made crude snow cave and stayed awake shivering all night. Took pictures when sun came up and 8:00 am started down; reached [C3] 13:00 hrs on 22nd where slept; 23rd to BC.

No time for other summit attempt afterwards by other 2 members who had actually gone up for try before Haid and Krismer. They went as far as C2 and then had to descend because of snowstorm (doctor adds that he was struck by lightning during storm).

Much snowfall after 12th, again 18th so some delay but strong winds blew away snow that would fall, were in hurry to finish climb. Also had no extra time left with 45-day air tickets.
