Mondinelli, Nuru Wangchu, Chiesa, Oiarzabal, Botta, Magliano, Salvatore and Dalla Rosa left C4 at 2 am. It was very windy. Magliano literally went back to his tent immediately as it was too windy. Dalla Rosa walked for about 1-1/2 hours and got too cold and turned back at about 7600m. Salvatore reached 7850m after 3 hours, but got too cold and turned back. [After summiting] Mondinelli and Nuru returned to C4 where they arrived at 9 am; Chiesa and Sonam Dorje also got back at 9 am. Botta arrived at C4 at 11 am to tell Sonam that Oiarzabal was in trouble near the summit (he was blind and exhausted). Sonam took oxygen from a Japanese expedition and ascended to Juanito to assist him down to C2, where Oiarzabal and Botta and 3 Sherpas spent the night. All other members had descended to BC in the mean time. On 6 Oct Mondinelli went back to above C1 to assist Oiarzabal on his descent. They arrived back at BC at noon.
