Izumi and Fuji reached C3 during their first summit push on 24 Sept. They abandoned their first summit attempt due to one of Brice's Sherpas falling into the crevasse. The Sherpas did not continue to fix the rope, so they descended.

On second summit push summit team left C4 at 2 am. Weather and conditions were very good. No wind. They stayed about five minutes on the summit and descended to C2 (4 pm), where they stayed the night.

Taguschi tried to summmit without oxygen, but had to start using it near the summit as his vision was blurred. He did not use it on the descent.
