We just received a call from Dave at high camp. The team reached the summit yesterday!!
They are busy breaking down camp and plan to head down to Camp 2 at 11,200 feet today. Tomorrow they will hike the 9 miles back to Base Camp and will hopefully fly back to Talkeetna.
I don't have much more information on the conditions they experienced yesterday. Satellite phone connections are not always that clear, but they did reach the top.
Congratulations to everyone for all their hard work and perseverance!

Brilliant news re summit success! Please tell David Ratcliffe that all his patients, friends and family raised a cheer for him; and his mother-in-law wants to know when he'll grow out of this phase! Annika
