Successful Summit!!!

Sorry for the delay. Our normal lines of communication have been a bit disrupted, but I just heard that the three climbers remaining and both guides made the summit!

Tim, Andy, Denis, Peter and Michael all reached the summit late in the evening on Monday. The day was clear and their views as they looked out from the top of North America were stunning. This was their second time going high in two days, so they all needed to dig deep to find the energy and resolve to keep pushing, but they found it, and did great!

Congratulations to all the climbers!

They descended part of the way back down their route yesterday, and will undoubtedly push all the way back to base camp today.
