We just heard from one of our teams at 14,200′ that the West Rib team reached the summit and have descended to about 2 hours from their high camp.  Guide Eric Larson reported that they it was a beautiful summit day and that the team is moving well on their descent.  They have only one tricky bit of terrain between them and their camp.

I’m not certain if they are having trouble with their phone or why they have not called, but they have been in constant radio contact with out numerous other teams on the mountain (we have 6 more teams at 14,200′ or higher).

Congratulations to the team!!!  Well done and safe travel back to camp.
