The team consisting of Novotny, Palacky and Poloch started its summit push on 19 May from C2. When they reached at 7800m, Poloch was very slow and ran out of energy. It was not possible for him to continue. Then he went back to C2 with Palacky. Novotny continued his climb and reached C3 at 5 pm. He had rest and food then started again at 10 pm. When he arrived at 8635m at about 7 am of 20 May, snowstorm started picking up that forced Novotny to go down and together with Palacky and Poloch who were waiting at C2 descended to ABC at 9 pm very exhausted.
