Mingma Dorje went to C4 on 6th May to drop the loads and pitch the tent. Morse was at BC.

On 15th May, Morse and Mingma Dorje climbed to C4. Mingma Dorje started from C2 at 3 am and Morse started from C3 at 7 am. They reached C4 at about 3 pm. When they got there, their tent had gone (probably blown away by the wind). It would have been their summit push to use the weather window on 16th May, but as they did not have a tent they abandoned the expedition. They descended again to C3, where they arrived at 8 pm and stayed the night. On 16th May they descended to C2, and on 17th May to BC.

Morse used oxygen from C3 to C4 and back to C3.

Mingma used oxygen from Yellow Band to C4.
