Good morning everyone! This is Paul calling from 14,000 feet. Everyone but Jon McQuestin and Kevin summited on May 29 at 2pm. We had good weather wind some wind some wind but not too bad. It was a great day and we are very happy that we were able to make it to the top.
Yesterday the 30th we came down to the 14,000-foot camp. Now we’re having a great breakfast, and soon will continue down the mountain with the hope of getting to base camp Tuesday morning, June 1st. [we missed a few sentences here because of interference] Everyone is in good spirits and in good shape and we’ll talk to you soon.”
