High point at 6900m at Korean Camp.

Jones and Lhakpa Dendi left C2 at 7 am. The weather was Ok, but there was a lot of snow. It took them five hours to Camp 2.5 at 6900m. They reached the camp at about 12 am as the wind picked up and moving got more difficult. They were intending to move on to C3. They stopped at the Korean Camp and got into a tent together with Alberto Pellizari and Rosa Fernandez's team and discussed what to do. The wind was about 60 km/h 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 was snowing heavily. When they woke up in the morning their tents were covered in about one meter of snow.

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