The expedition placed their third high camp below what used to be the normal site for C3 on a ledge at about 6400m and is commonly called as Camp 2.7. Ballinger thinks the site for camp is 2.7 is a good place to camp: it is protected from the wind and gets good sunlight.

Non-summiting members:

Ewen climbed to the Yellow Tower at about 6000m on 29 October and then he was not skilled enough to continue. He left on 2 November.

Friedrich also left on 2 November after reaching 6000m on 29 October. He was frightened and unhappy.

Kjellberg became sick in BC perhaps due to a virus and never got well. He went up to C1 on 28 October and stayed in BC until the climb was over.

Warren he also became sick, probably from a viral infection, and got no higher than 6000m on 4 November.
