Summit team left C3 between 11:15 pm and 12:45 pm on 17 and 18 May respectively. Weather was calm and clear. When Selamolela got to the top at 10:20 am, he was incoherent and collapsed on the summit due to exhaustion and mild HACE. McGuinness and Dawa Gyalzen were still on the summit and stayed with Selamolela on the summit. They motivated him to move down. When they got to the 3rd Step McGuinness checked Selamolela's oxygen and noticed that hose was twisted. He fixed it and Selamolela got better. Namgyal Sherpa was at C3 and climbed up to 8700m to meet them. He assisted him down to C3 where they arrived at 8 pm. The next day Selamolela still felt sick but better and managed to walk down to 7000m with McGuinness, Dawa Gyalzen and Namgyal. From there he was put on a stretcher and was carried down to ABC where they arrived at 9 pm. He used oxygen all the way to ABC. The next day (about 20 May), he was able to eat and he got better on 22 May. He got back to Kathmandu on 25 May and went to CIWEC clinic. He has frostbite on both feet but will be able to keep his toes. His fingers are also frostbitten and he might lose his fingertips of his right hand.

All other summiteers descended to C2 on 18 May, where they arrived around 7 pm; Yifrah arrived at 1 pm.

Yifrah from Israel planted a joint Palestinian and Israeli flag on the summit.

Bushnaq got to 7000m on 3 May, but turned back due to mild AMS.

Patil got to 7000m on 3 May, but turned back due to sickness, nausea and persistent cough.

Trumbull got to 7000m; he never intended to summit (he was the organizer); he also had slight pneumonia, which he treated with antibiotics.

Yaniv also got frostbite on his big toes, but according to CIWEC he will keep them.
