C1 at North Col
High point at 8600m between First Step and Second Step.

On 18 May Cointre, Latour and Pasang Tenji left C3 at 9:45 pm (NST), reached 8600m at 4:30 am of 19 May. At that point Latour was so exhausted, the team had to call off the climb. Then they descended to below First Step and tried to paraglide from the ridge below the First Step. They waited for three hours but could not take off due to inappropriate wind conditions. They left the glider on the ridge and descended to C2 at about 2:30 pm. They returned to Kathmandu on 27 May and may be leaving on 30th.
