Greetings Loyal RMI Blog Followers!
Today, at approximately 2:20pm, our entire team stood on top of North America! This team put in a heck of an effort and were rewarded with an amazing summit day! We wanted to call from the summit, but the only wind we had all day was the top 20’ of this climb. Despite the cold, the team spent a good joyful 20 minutes on top before making our descent back to 17,000' Camp. I couldn’t be more proud of this team today, digging deep and climbing hard! Tomorrow, we begin our long descent back to civilization. Ideally, we’ll be sleeping at 11,000’ camp tomorrow night in the thick air we miss so dearly. The weather looks like it may cooperate for the next couple days so wish us luck!

Young et al, ( awful salutation -you’re not on registry) and especially clients,
CONGRATULATIONS! That’s a lifelong memorable achievement. Happy for y’all! I’m getting news 12 hours after your summits, so I’m guessing you’re safely back at 17,000’ and readying to descend to 16,000’. Good on y’all. Cheers mates!
