This party left C4 at 8:10 pm on the 22nd. All of them got to the summit on 23 May between 6:37 am (Bryan Chapamn) and 10:40am (Reckford). They descended to C4, Masek was back at 11:00 am and Reckford at 5:20 pm. But Bryan Chapman, Masek and Shega went on down to C2, where they arrived at 2:00 pm. Everyone was in BC on the 25th.

In the second party were eight members and seven Sherpas, who left C4 on the 23rd at 8:00 pm. They were Bergum, Michael Chapman, John and Ryan Dahlem, Ford, Kay, Merle and Lei Wang with Sherpas Danuru, Dawa Nuru, Mingma Chhiring, Mingma Tenzing, Nima Nuru and Sanduk Dorje. Because of the wind and light snowfall, three members, Bergum, Ford and Kay, turned back at the Balcony (about 8500m) and Mingma Chhiring, Mingma Tenzing and Nima Nuru went down with them; they returned to C4 at 6:00 am. The rest of the group summited on 24 May from 7:40 am (Michael Chapman) to 8:37 am (Merle). All of these summiters stopped for the night in C4 between 11:00 am and 1:00 pm. They descended to C2 on the 25th and BC on the 26th.

Oxygen was used by all members sleeping in C3 to their high points to and in C4; those who went down to C2 on the 23rd continued using it to C2. Sherpas used oxygen in C4 to their high points to (but not in) C4.
