Six members (Hanaoka, Kondo, Kurimoto, Masaki, Nakamura and Ogiwara) and five Sherpas (Da Dendi, Dirga Sing Tamang, Lama Babu, Lhakpa Chhiring, and Phurba Chhiri) set out for the top from C3 on 1 October at 1:00 am (Chinese time). Dirga Sing Tamang was very tired when he got to 8000m and went no higher.

All the others reached the summit at 12:30 pm (10:15 NST). Kurimoto and Kondo descended to C2, where they arrived at 7:00 pm. All the other summiters stopped in C3 at 6:00 to 7:00 pm. On the 2nd, two Sherpas stopped their descent at C1 to bring down the loads of supplies while all others went to ABC.

Non-summiting members:

Shinmen reached 6900m on 29 September; she was not strong, so she was very slow; she abandoned her attempt to go higher.

Sugimoto was BC manager and never went above BC.

Oxygen was used by Kurimoto and Ogiwara from C1 to summit to C1; all other members in and from C2 to summit to C1; Sherpas used none.
