Race called from ABC with the update on the last two
days of the expedition: John, Slate, Chris,
Bruce, Olivia, Phu Nuru, Danuru, and Ang Passang
all went for the summit yesterday morning,
starting at 1 am. The weather started out OK,
but became marginal, with a big lenticular cloud
forming over the top, and some thunderstorms in the
area. Slate and Chris turned back with Ang
Passang from a little below the top. John
continued with the others to the summit plateau, where
Chris decided to turn back. John turned around
with him at this point. Olivia, Phu Nuru, and
Danuru went on to cross the plateau to the tippy top.
Today Mike, Reid, and Kami reached also the summit,
and are now back down OK. Steve and Scott are
currently on their summit attempt, and we hope to hear
in the next 24 hours about them.
