Summit!!! On a fine day. A little bit of a long one though -fifteen hours round trip. We got tangled with a couple of other guided parties. Those other teams were breaking trail, so it is tough to fault them for being slow. We were on top at 8:30 PM and back to 17,000' Camp just after 2 AM. The weather was very nice, but it wasn't the warmest day on top. Most of us had on all the clothing we had.

A very proud congratulations to the entire team for such a rare accomplishment! Terry and Mitch, you two are tough. I know it was a ton of work and you are probably exhausted. Get some well needed rest and some good food!

Congratulations from a member of the May 7th expedition! So happy for both teams that made it with this crazy season. Like us and the May 9th team, it looks like it came down to one good day of weather that made it happen. Safe travels down and enjoy the celebration at the Fairview when you get back!
