The expedition went to the top in two groups. The first one left C2 on 3 November at 3:30 am. They were Bergau, Etienne, Gie, Rai and Tenji Sherpa. All reached the summit at 10:30 am and returned to C1 at 2:45 pm. They descended to BC the next day.

The second party, who left C2 at midnignt of 3/4 Nov, were Allsopp, Fuller, Garam, Holmes, Imber, Kausch, Muendl, Nelson and three Sherpas, Dawa Jangbu, Gyalzen and Pasang. Holmes and Pasang turned around at 6250m, just below the mushroom ridge, at 6:45 am because they were climbing too slowly; they returned to C1. All others went to the summit on 4 Nov between 12:05 pm (Kausch) and 2:10 pm. (Nelson with Gyalzen). They were back in C2 between 7:30 pm (Muendl) and 10:00 pm (Allsopp) and in BC on the 5th.

One member had left the team early: Zeevi got to only 5350m and left on 25 October, saying his knee was paining him.

Fixed rope: some between C1 and C2 up to 6300m.
