Jelinek, Prokop, Simunek and Lhakpa Dorje left C2 for summit at midnight (NST). Jelinek climbed for only 30 minutes and decided no more and down to C2; other 3 went on up. Simunek at 7500m boots "not satisfactory" following other 2 saw they stopped at 7600m because Prokop was slow; Simunek joined them at 7600m and then at 10:00 am all down to ABC and all 4 arrived ABC 5:00 pm.

Cuda had reached C2 and down to C1 same day 1 Oct.
Kricka to 6700m late Sept, early Oct.

Simunek left ABC 6 Oct 6:30 am, arrived C2 6:00 pm and left for top with others at midnight. Other factors discouraging Simunek from continuing his climb: 1) he lived in a communist country, Czechoslavakia, and he detested Chinese army's shooting a Tibetans fleeing Communism for Nepal; 2) huge number of climbers on Cho Oyu.
