17th summit team left C4 at 9 pm on 16th May. Weather was clear and calm. The route was very busy. Straightforward climb. Good views. Group spent about half an hour on the summit. They descended to C4, where they arrived at 11 am and rested for an hour and carried on to C2. Kobold arrived at 5 pm: Ugyan and Casserley arrived at 8 pm.

Ugyan was having troubles breathing at the bottom of the Lhotse Face, where Casserley had met her. She seemed to have tracheitis and at about 11 pm in C4, she had the feeling that she would suffocate. She told her husband Mike Kobold and all of a sudden, she collapsed and turned blue. Casserley fought for her life and with advice from Monica Piris (Russell's doctor), who he talked to over the radio; she came around and seemed Ok. Casserley gave her IV fluids and she was able to sleep. The next day, they all descended to BC. Kobold and Ugyan stayed for another couple of days at BC and then walked to Pheriche and flew back to Kathmandu.
