Mike calls at 6 am local time to say he reached the summit around 5pm last night!<\/p>\n
It took him a great deal longer than expected and needed to stop for a rest on the descent at 7’800m once the night settled in.<\/p>\n
When he rang this morning he was beginning his ascent down from 7’800m to base camp. We expect t0 hear a more about his gruelling venture once he has arrived at base camp, eaten and rested a little.<\/p>\n
No news from Fred since yesterday afternoon after his ascent of the summit. He was already coming down in altitude yesterday afternoon so we imagine he rested in Camp 2 last night and will be back at base camp early this morning.<\/p>\n
Well done guys!! What a feat!!<\/p>\n
