Boebel reached C2 during the acclimatization and on 13 May to collect her belongings.

Greher and Soell were intending to climb without supplemental oxygen. The rest of the expedition was intending to use oxygen.

Felix remained on Makalu after the main team left and summited on 23 May at 2:15 pm together with Karma Sherpa from C4, from where they started at 9 pm on 22 May. Good conditions, full moon. They stayed for about 20 minutes on the summit.

Felix used oxygen from C4 (he did not intend to, but his Sherpa talked him into it), but was uncomfortable with the mask and kept on taking it off. He was fine up until the summit, but got really cold and exhausted on his way down, where he must have got severely frostbitten fingers.
