High point at Second Step.

Two climbers started climbing from C3 at 11 pm of 19th May and reached 8650m at 4 am of 20th May, turned around due to very cold high wind. Came back to C3 at 9 am of the same day, spent some 5 hours at C3 and went back to C2, at reached C2 at 4 pm and spent the night.

Weather did not improve so had to abandon the expedition. They had no problem of altitude or anything else except the bad weather. Cold wind had started blowing from the night of 19th May at about 2 pm.
