summit success

Due to battery problems the news was slow to come. However i had a good chat to Raj yesterday who was in good spirits if not a little shattered. Its Been a long haul but moral is high and they are all buzzing from this success. The expedition has been a wild one and certainly one to be remembered making reaching the summit even more rewarding.

here is an account of the summit day push..

Arriving at BC yesterday afternoon the team rested and rehydrated until 0100 when they got up and prepared for the summit push. They departed at 0220 and reached the summit in 6 hours. It was then 5 hours back to BC where they are currently resting. Tomorrow they set off back down the route they came in and hope to reach their start point in 4 days (it took 6 on the way up) in order to make their flight connection.

well done again to Raj and the whole team.. now we cant wait to see all the photos to go with this expedition (which of course we will post here and our our site,) and to have the team home.

Its not over yet, there are still many tribal patches that need crossing.. so good luck for the final push out-of-there!
