The ‘True Summit’ is 20m-25m away from the fore summit (Shelf 2) and is considered a dangerous challenge to overcome at 8100m+ level.

Sajid managed to complete the summit before a huge avalanche stuck the climbers around C4.

“More than 13 climbers (including Sherpas) were swept along with the avalanche,” Chhang Dawa Sherpa of Seven Summit Treks wrote on social media. “Four Sherpas, including two from our team, need urgent rescue…The rest all have minor injuries.”
