2 members left expedition 22 April and 1 on 30 April for no reason except apparently the mountain was not for them. Hamlin left 26 April because he could no longer see properly and Wood left from ABC on 21 April because bronchitis drained his strength.

6 May night 70-80 mph winds ruined one tent. Down on 7th in high winds and sporadical white-out during descent to C2. Climb now finished with no time to mount another attempt. 3 members used oxygen sleeping in C3 in preparation for summit bid next day 7 May.
