BC at lodge 20 minutes below BC
High point at 6100m at C2 site.

The team got no higher than 6100m, the site for C2, but never made camp there. On 29 October, five members and two Sherpas reached the site ("touched it" as the saying goes), but turned back to C1. Again, on 2 November four members and five Sherpas touched C2, but retreated to C1.

They were on 29 October, Berglund, Bradey, Larsson, Morris and Slater with Lhakpa Dorje and Lhakpa Tenzing, and on 2 November Bradey, Chessor, Goto and Larson with Chewang Dorje, Kami Rita, Lhakpa Dorje, Lhakpa Tenzing and Rinji.

The problem each time was the powder snow covering the route above C2. They abandoned their climb after they found the same conditions when they went up the second time on 2 November, and decided that day to give up.
