THEY’RE AT THE TOP! David Liano, Vernon Tejas, Chewang Sherpa, and Thapkee
Sherpa are standing at the top of the world. Cheers are going up from all the
Alpine Ascents team members following them from Base Camp and Camp 2, as well
as the climbing team heading for Camp 3. Congratulations are coming in on the
radio from friends all over Base Camp, and soon from all of you as well. We’re
really proud of these guys for getting the job done, and our hopes are high
for the next team going up. This has been a real team effort by dozens of
people.
But it’s not over yet. The next step is to get down safely. Our advice to them
is, ”take your pictures and get yourselves out of there.” We will still be
following them as they come down the mountain and back to Camp 4 at the South
Col, where they will spend the night tonight before heading down to Camp 2
tomorrow and Base Camp the day after. We do have some developing clouds, but
conditions still seem to be reasonable as they start their descent.
I will report in as they return to the safety of Camp 4.
