On 27/04 Gruner went to Tingri with Atanas Skatov as he was not feeling well. He stayed there for two nights and returned to ABC on 29/04.

On 03/05 Gruner, Lercher, Porwit and Jangbu Sherpa ascended to C2, intending to go to the summit on 04/05. Berg ascended to C2 on 04/05 to talk them out of going for the summit as he did not think the weather was favourable. Everyone descended with Gruner and Lercher staying at C1, and Berg, Porwit and Jangbu descending to ABC. On 05/05 they were all back down at ABC.

Gruner and Lercher left ABC on 11/05 as they had decided for themselves that their expedition was over.

Hille reached 6850m on 25/04. During summit rotation, he reached C1 and decided to abandon the climb as he did not believe that weather window would come.

Porwit reached C2 on 11/05 on the summit rotation. As they had to wait a second day due to the weather he decided to descend as he would not have been strong enough to go down to ABC in one day after the summit, which they were planning to do.
