HPt 11/05 around 7100m by Mindu Sherpa.

Valloton went trekking in the Khumbu beforehand and then took a helicopter to Hillary BC. When Valloton reached C2 for the first time, Mindu was with her. They set up camp and stayed on night. On 25/04 they descended to ABC as it was very windy. The winds continued for a few days, but when the weather got better Valloton ascended to C2 a few times.

On 10/05 Mindu left ABC to get ahead to C3 one day before Valloton to set up camp. Valloton left on 11/05 and when she reached C2 Mindu was on his way to C3. He did not reach all the way to C3 as it was too late. They spent another night at C2 and the following day was too windy to continue. On 13/05, Mindu got sick and they descended. On 14/05 they were picked up by helicopter to Lukla and then Kathmandu.

On 16/05 Valloton took a flight to Lukla as she was supposed to go to Everest. However, her promised helicopter ride from Lukla to EBC never materialized so she came back to Kathmandu on 18/05.
