Entire team at South Col on the evening of 17 May. Weather too bad and too windy for summit on 18 May, so they stayed another night at South Col.

Summit team left C4 at 9 pm on 18 May. Straightforward climb. They stayed for about half an hour and everyone down to C4 the same day. The following day everyone down to C2 and then BC on 21 May.

Kay felt unwell on the descent and he deteriorated at the South Col. The Sherpas helped him down and he was evacuated from C2; see blog at:

Crampton and Dellis reached South Col. On morning of 18 May, Crampton descended with Dellis and Karma Gyalgen Sherpa as Dellis was coughing up blood (HAPE). They went to C2 and on 19 May descended to BC. Dellis was evacuated on 21 May.

Oxygen: Taken and used from C3 to summit to C2 by members and Sherpas.
