Team of Justman (Mountain Link), Greeks and Swiss were ahead of Van Hoy on summit, and behind them were Discovery group. There were about 8 people of summit at the time of Van Hoy got to summit. Weather was fantastic.

Other member Kuo (Taiwan) reached up to C2 on April 22. He decided not to continue his climbing because the way ahead is too steep for him. Kuo left BC on April 24 and for Taipei on 25th. He was not sick.
