Bill called a bit ago to let us know that he, Greg and Vanessa all arrived in Base Camp a short while ago. Our Sherpa team are just behind them, and will soon arrive back at the luxurious-feeling 17,500′ camp.
Spirits are high and everyone is looking forward to the myriad of niceties that “civilization” affords – especially – long showers! It has been quite the journey over the past two months, with new friends and numerous ups and down, metaphorically and literally. We look forward to an update from the team in the next day or so, and can’t wait to see the photos from summit day!
Bill and Co., welcome back to the flatlands of Base Camp. Glad you are all safe. Prayers for the gone and the missing.
