Planned to go on summit bid 4 May but winds too strong and waited one day. Left Col on 4th at 10:00+ pm: Hillberg, Chlumska and Kropp and 3 Sherpas. At 8500m Hillberg turned back because of trouble with fast oxygen flow set too low and Sherpas went ahead of him (to summit).

All in Col camp summit night and C2 6th May and BC 7th. Total of 6 Sherpas: 3 for climb and 3 to remove empty oxygen bottles from Col.
