On 28 April Giuseppe from Italian team arrived at their camp at 7 am. He was on his own and complained of chest pain. They gave him water and when they noticed that he was extremely unwell. Quesada, Gonzalez and Gomez lowered him to C2 where they put him into a tent of Swiss team. Bruno, leader of Swiss team, took over to look after him, however Giuseppe died in the evening.

They also met Laurent Terrey and Stephanie (France) during their expedition. They seemed to have had an argument as one night Stephanie stayed in tent with Spaniards as she was thrown out by Laurent. According to Quesada, Stephanie was then given "exile" by Swiss expedition.
