On April 22, they placed Base Camp at 5200 meters and had yaks carry their gear to Advance Base at 5700 meters. They set up Camp I at 6200 meters on the northeast ridge. They reached a high point of 6350 meters after climbing some hard mixed pitches. They then turned to the north ridge but gave up there on May 23.
