Just spoke with Nickel on the sat phone: 100% on the summit, and everyone is now down in high camp. VERY good news. Nickel said it was a bit foggy, a bit snowy and super windy — that works just fine.

Stay tuned for summit photos from the team soon. One more day, and members will be down in Plaza Mulas with tennis shoes on, eating pizza. We’re just not going to do a whole lot better than that.
