Non-summiting members:

Abbas was very slow. He reached 7600m on 19 May on the high flow of oxygen of 3 liters per minute up from the North Col camp at 7000m and even then he descended to ABC very slowly.

Christensen climbed to 7900m (below C3) without oxygen, had no energy left and slowly descended to C1.

Coster went to the North Col camp and remained there. He was too busy directing the team to continue climbing.

Doherty went only to ABC with the expedition on 22 April and left on 23 April.

Gladh became too tired to keep climbing on 19 May and retreated to BC.

Xiao left for the summit on 21 May with the others in the first summit group, but at 8800m he turned back with Chhewang Karma, too frightened to continue up.

Oxygen was used by members from C1 to the top to C1. Sherpas used it from C2 to the top to C2.
