On 22 May at 2:30 am, Agnieska Bielecka, Robert Cholewa, Tamara Stys and Piotr Tomala and a Sherpa left C3 for the summit and reached 7400m. Because of the strong wind, Cholewa, Stys and Tomala retreated to C1, arriving there after 3:00 pm. But Bielecka continued trying for the top. She reached 8100m at 4:00 pm with the two members of a separate team, Pawel Michalski (also Polish) and Simone La Terra (Italian).

The three stopped climbing at 8100m because they now realized that they had made the wrong choice to stay on the NE Ridge instead of traversing slightly onto the North Face as the best approach to the summit. They were back in C2 at 10:00 pm.
