Manuylov, Lutokhin, Kirievski and Totmyanin started their summit push from C4. Manuylov started his push at 6 am (the others had started a bit earlier). The weather and snow conditions were good. The route was partly fixed. Manuylov reached the summit at 6:15 pm and descended to C4 the same day where he arrived very late. Manuylov stayed with the Kazakh team at C4. The following day, he reached C2 and on 18th he reached base camp.

Manuylov used oxygen from 7400m to the summit back down to C4.

Lutokhin, Kirievski and Totmyanin (none of them used oxygn) had turned back during the summit push at different altitudes due to bad health. They all descended to C2 on that day.

On 6th May, the team tried their first summit push and reached about 8300m. They turned back as it was getting too late in the day and they spent the night at C4. When they got back to C4, Duganov started feeling bad in the evening and on 7th May in the morning Belous, Bolotov, Duganov, Kirievski and Totmyanin started to go down. Duganov walked for a few meters and collapsed after having clipped into the fixed rope and died. His teammates tried to resuscitate him, but there was no sign of life. His body was taken down to C2, where a helicopter picked it up on 20th May 2010.

Duganov died of high altitude cerebral or pulmonary edema on 7th May at 10 am near C4.
