Always nice to report that we have received news of another successful Vinson ascent. All members are on the summit and descending now. No details other than all is well, and that they are on their way down. Exactly what we wanted to hear.
They’ll need one more full climbing day before they will be able to relax. High camp down to Vinson base camp is a full day, demanding everyone’s attention; then we can start calling things a true success! It ain’t over till it’s over but this news is a pretty good start.
Congratulations to Jonathan and the team!
