On 10 May, Hedberg, McPherson, O'Sullivan and Kami Sherpa left C2 for the summit at 2:30 am on the 10th of May. There was very little wind, high clouds, light snowfall plus thunder and lightning as they set out, but they had decided to make the attempt to reach the summit now since the weather forecast predicted very strong winds starting late on the 11th until the 19th.

Hedberg and O'Sullivan got to 6700m. By 7:30 am, Hedberg was getting tired. By now the mountain below about 6300m was covered by clouds, and there was concern about their ability to get down safely, so the summit team turned around and managed to get back to C2 at noon. They decided to abandon the climb since the forecast was for a period of bad weather. Furthermore, Hedberg found that he had two frostbitten toes.

Bjellmo and Lane reached C2 on the 9th with the summit party, but she was not strong enough to go higher and the weather was poor. They retreated to BC.

Garner got to C1 on 7 May, but descended to BC the next day because she was suffering from bronchitis.

Jyssum had a mild altitude problem, and an asthma attack hit her at 5480m on her way to C2, so she retreated to BC.
