Summit!!

Jacob, Ben, and George reached the summit this afternoon! They awoke to a beautiful day and went for the top this morning at around 10am. They are minutes from getting back to high camp right now at about 9 pm. Good job guys! They'll descend tomorrow to meet back up with the rest of the team and all head down to base camp together.

Their persistence and patience paid off, good work guys.

  1. Delighted to hear that George and Ben have made it to the top. It sounded a bit touch and go with the weather a couple of days ago and we thought you would have to descend without making another attempt.

    Well done to all the team and take care on the way out.

  2. Congratulations on the climbers making summit! Sorry kids, playtime is over. Time for KC to come home now. He's missed a day at the water park, floating down the Guadalupe River and lots of Tex Mex food (all in 95 degree weather!)

    Prayers for your safe return.

    XOXOXO,
