Kramer, Niggemann, Claudia Studer, Sylvia Studer, Wilfried Studer, Vienhauser, Phurba Ongel, Nima Tenjing and Nima started their summit bid from C3 between 10-11 pm NST on 22 May. Kramer and Niggelmann turned around from 8450m due to exhaustion and Nima Tenjing accompanied them. Vienhauser climbing without oxygen turned around from 3rd Step (about 8600m); he did not want to go further up and descended to ABC. Claudia Studer, Sylvia Studer, Wilfried Studer, Phurba Ongel and Nima reached to the top at 9:30 am on 23 May. They stayed on summit for 45 minutes and descended to C3 where they reached at 1:30 pm, then continued to C2 where they spent the night. On 24 May went down to ABC. The summit day weather was very good, clear and no wind. The team was the last to reach to the summit. Ahead of the team there were maybe about 20 climbers on the summit. The Studer team saw on the summit about 20 climbers from south side.
