Findik and Dawa Sherpa left C3 at 2 am on 1 May. Ahead of them were Czech climber Fojtik and Iranian Etemadfar; Koreans were at about 7900m. The Koreans ran out of ropes and they stopped moving, maybe they were discussing about their plan. Having reached that point Fojtik, Etemadfar and Findik decided to continue their climb and started cutting steps together. For a while one of the Korean members also joined them and he returned to his team who were very slow to follow the advancing climbed. Weather started getting bad, strong wind and snow fall around 2:30 pm. It became complete white-out and dark. Dawa stopped at around 8000m. Fojtik was about 100m ahead and Etemadfar was about 50m behind and Dawa was about 100m behind. When Findik reached near to the dead body he saw Fojtik on the summit. He does not remember exact summit time but estimates that it may be around 4 pm or little later. Like Fojtik, Findik, too got electric shock in the bad weather while on summit. There was cloud all over. He said it was painful when electricity pass through his body to legs then down to surface. He hardly stayed on summit for 10 minutes and descended quickly. Findik reached C3 after 7:30 pm it was a complete dark night. He slept there. On 2 May to C2 and next day to BC. Findik returned to Kathmandu on 7 May and will leave on 14 or 15 May.
