It sounds like it was a long day route finding in the clouds, but the May 14th team was rewarded for their hard work by reaching the summit. Congratulations to all team members for your hard work and perseverance during a period of unstable weather on the mountain.

Dear Wendy-Rific and the entire May 14 team:
Kudos! Well Done! Congratulations! Everyone who has been following your expeditions is proud of your ability to be steadfast and unwavering in your resolve to the commitment of achieving a well-earned summit.
Wendy – since the first day we met in the Earth Treks Golden gym, I could tell by the gleam in your eye and the sound of your determined voice that you were going to accomplish your goals. Beyond your personal tenacious drive, I also greatly appreciate your ability to be a trusted and valuable partner to those on your team. Your heartfelt spirit and appreciation for the strong draw of a wilderness experience in wild and high places is infectious and a wonderful addition for those who are lucky enough be on a venture with the one and only Wendy Gustin. Bravo on your achievement. — Dan-tastic (Dan Jenkins).
