"Alessandra [Cannestri], according to her report, stopped at about 30m altitude below the summit (i.e., 100-150m distance) on the last flat plateau of the ridge just before the last ice serac, due to her tiredness and increasing weariness. The time was about 11:00 am (Nepali time) on 18th May. At the moment, she was with her friend Marco, who had already reached the top together with their Sherpa Dawa and had begun his descent."
