Summit push: Laughlin, Skrede and Parsu Ram Rai left C2 at 9 pm on 4 Oct. They reached at about 7400m between 11 to 11:30 pm then turned around to C2 at around midnight due to cold feet. Rested for couple of hours then descended to ABC. The team planned for another attempt on 7 Oct, but called it off due to bad weather, strong wind.

Other members:

Andrews went up to C2 on 1 Oct, but got sick coughing due to coldness and was weak, back to ABC. No further climbing.

Bartova slept at C1 on 9 Sept and descended to ABC, not strong enough to continue climbing.

Kuppusamy same as Andrew's case.

Schmitz went up C2 on 30 Sept, slept there. He suffered from sore throat and remained at ABC rest of the time.
