On the 2nd October, the team attempted to go to C2.
On the 8th October, the entire team slept at C1.
On the 9th October, the entire team slept at C2.

On the 10 October, the entire team reached the Ratna fore-summit (6804m on the Finnish map). Then Bazin, with both Sherpas and Pellegrin went further on the route, equipping the descent to the col lying between both summits (Ratna fore-summit and Ratna Chuli, 6412m on the Finnish map) with 100m of fixed rope, then let 200m of rope at the col for the day after and made the track for the summit until 6804m before turning down.

In his initial plans, Bazin thought he would reach summit on 11 or 12th October, but in the night of 10th to the 11th of October, the weather turned bad, so that on the 11th, the entire team could only escape from the storm with 80 km/h winds (intensified with the Venturi effect, C2 lying on a col), taking time to take away all the gear put on the mountain (tents, fixed ropes - except the 100m between fore-summit and 6412m col) whilst climbing down. The same day all the team was safely back to the base camp.

The same day the expedition was over: there was not enough time left and even with a return of good weather for the 12th October, the conditions wouldn't have been safe enough for a summit bid, with a lots of wind slabs.

Sherpas:
Pemba Nuru Sherpa, 2037/8/12, Khumjung-3, Solukhumbu
Dachhiri Sherpa, 2024/3/7, Khumjung-1, Solukhumbu

Fixed rope:

Bazin and the Sherpas put 300m of fixed ropes on the route: 200m below C2 for steep sections of ice (60 degrees), 100m below the fore-summit to go down to the 6412m col. The less steeper sections below (35-degree slopes) and above (40-degree slopes) C1 were not equipped as the snow conditions were very good.
