Summit on 25 May Benegas, Betancourt, Carracedo, Grajales, Phurba Gyalgen, Funuru at 8:18 am.

Summit team and Rodriguez left between 8 pm and 9 pm on 24 May. It was very windy. They only experienced short waiting times at South Summit, but waited for about 45 minutes at Hillary Step. When Rodriguez reached the Hillary Step, his cornea was frozen and he was blind on one eye. He turned back at about 7 am and descended to C4 [was accompanied by Mingma Tenji & two other Sherpas].

Summit was very cold and windy, so they spent only 5 minutes on the summit. They descended to C4, where they arrived at 2:30 pm. Benegas put some bolts on the rock steps a the South Summit and was refining anchors. On 26 May they descended to C2 and on 27 May to BC.

Arana never got out of BC due to altitude sickness; he left the expedition on 20 April.
