High point at Korean camp.

Pellizzari and Pem Chhiri left C2 at 7 am. The weather was Ok, but there was a lot of snow. It took them five hours to C2.5 at 6900m. They reached the camp at about 12 am as the wind picked up and moving was getting more and more difficult. They were intending to move on to C3.

They stopped at the Korean Camp and got into a tent together with Clive Jones and Rosa Fernandez's team, and discussed what to do. The wind was about 60 km/hour and they decided to descend again. They left the camp at about 2 pm and descended to C2 at 6500m to spend the night. The weather at C2 was calm, but it was snowing heavily. When they woke up in the morning their tents were covered in about one metre of snow.

On 13th of May in the morning they packed up the camp and descended to base camp. Jones and Pellizarri decided to abandon the expedition and left base camp on 14th May.
