Non-summiting members:

Biglino left team on 22nd - too much discomfort and struggle
Blodgett left on 20th - did not like presence of fixed lines and such a crowd of
climbers
Boersma to 5900m on 16th, on 17th left team - mountain too difficult technically
Breemer left team on 20th with Blodgett for same reasons
