After summiting Everest on 17/05, Jones-Warner attempted Everest from the north.

Jones-Warner spent one night in Kathmandu on 19/05 and left for Lhasa on 20/05. He was planning on climbing Everest from the north side. He only reached up to the North Col, but there was no oxygen at the North Col so he abandoned the climb.

Jones-Warner by email 28/05/2018:

"Summited south 17 May 8:40 and arrived back down at bc on the 18th. I flew from BC morning of the 19th to KTM.

I then left KTM morning of the 20th and flew to Lhasa arriving midday. Then drove arriving on North BC evening of the 21st.

Me, Nima and Kami left BC on the 22nd and went to ABC. First thing on the 23rd we left ABC to go to 8300m. When we got to the North Col we realised there was no oxygen, presumed stolen. Once we had found out the oxygen was missing, we descended straight back down to base camp. We didn't stay or hang around. Then following day left to come back to KTM.

The aim was to summit morning 24th as the weather closed in on the 25th. Had I been successful it would have been 2 summits in a week!"
