Mike called at 3:30pm PST on 6/21 with the following dispatch:
“Hey, we’re back in Talkeetna! We left from 17 camp at about 12:30 in the afternoon and made an awesome 18hr push all the way down to arrive at Basecamp at about 6:30. We picked up David from Andrew, Mary and Paul’s team, and brought him down with us, and now Paul is hitchhiking his way back up to his team [note: climbers must travel in teams of at least 3 while on the mountain]. Thanks to everyone for a great climb!”
